Intramuros already reopened its sites, museums and indoor attractions on Sept. 16 to give the public with an alternative and safer venue for leisurely activity.
“We see this as an opportunity for the vulnerable sector to enjoy the green spaces of Intramuros for their overall health and well-being,” says Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat. “As we have recently welcomed visitors ages 18 to 65, we are making the place more inclusive by providing a dedicated period where our senior citizens, persons with disability (PWD), pregnant women, and persons with health risks can enjoy their time in Intramuros safely.”
