Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna inspected Roxas Boulevard and adjacent areas recently in preparation for the city’s “Move Manila Car-Free Sundays By The Bay” which starts on May 26.
“Our car-free Sundays will be different from others like it because our venue is Roxas Boulevard, the most beautiful and historic boulevard in the country. We inspected Roxas Boulevard to ensure the road will be safe for all,” Lacuna said.
Ordinance No. 9047 will designate the stretch of Roxas Boulevard from Padre Burgos Avenue to Quirino Avenue as the car-free zone wherein Manileños and others may, from 5am to 9am, exercise by walking, jogging, running, roller skating, and biking.
