Between its northern terminus at the Lagusnilad underpass of Padre Burgos Avenue and Redemptorist Road in Pasay, R-2 is known as Taft Avenue. It serves the districts of Ermita and Malate running underneath the Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 1 (LRT-1) towards Parañaque via Pasay.
Elpidio Quirino Avenue[edit]

R-2 is known as Diego Cera Avenue in Las Piñas. It runs between the Parañaque–Las Piñas boundary and Alabang–Zapote Road.
Aguinaldo Highway[edit]
From Alabang–Zapote Road south to Tagaytay, R-2 is known as Aguinaldo Highway. It is the main north-south thoroughfare in the province of Cavite linking Las Piñas, Metro Manila with Cavite, particularly the cities and municipalities of Bacoor, Imus, Dasmariñas, Silang, and Tagaytay.
