Getting There

• Private Car

  If you're driving from any part of Western Visayas, head towards Iloilo City. Use the major highways like the Iloilo-Antique Road (also known as the Panay East Coast Road). Once you reach Jaro, look for signs pointing towards Central Philippine University (CPU). The campus is located at CPU Research and Development Building, Jaro, Iloilo City, 5000 Iloilo. Parking is available within the university grounds, but it may be limited during peak hours.

  From various locations in Iloilo City, you can take a jeepney that has a route passing through Jaro. Common jeepney routes include 'Jaro Plaza' or 'CPU.' The fare is generally around PHP 8-12 depending on your starting point. Once you arrive at the Jaro Plaza, ask the driver or locals for directions to Central Philippine University, which is approximately a 10-15 minute walk from the plaza. Look for signs or landmarks to guide you.

• Public Transportation (Taxi / Grab)

  If you prefer a more direct route, you can opt for a taxi or use ride-hailing services like Grab. Simply input 'Central Philippine University' or 'CPU Research and Development Building' as your destination.
