00:00 Today is International Women's Day.
00:04 Women are allowed to walk around the city.
00:10 Let's take a look at what Oscar Oida has planned.
00:14 Intramuros is one of the top tourist destinations in Metro Manila.
00:21 Here, you can walk down History Lane
00:25 to see the historical sites like Baluarte de San Diego,
00:30 the oldest stone fort in Manila.
00:34 Now, International Women's Day is celebrated as a special treat for women.
00:41 They are free to access some of the streets today.
00:46 "Do you have a fee?"
00:47 "No, we don't have a fee because it's International Women's Day."
00:51 "So, only boys can pay for the fee. It's only 50 pesos per person."
00:57 "I'm very happy. Women's Day. This is a park. It's free and open."
01:05 Leonor, while she has the chance to walk around here,
01:09 her mother is the most important woman in her life.
01:14 "When I saw on FB that there's a free walk,
01:19 I thought that there's a fee.
01:22 On normal days, it's 75 pesos.
01:25 This is the chance to walk for free."
01:29 "It's okay. It's nice. It's fresh. It's windy."
01:33 "What are you planning to do here in Baluarte?"
01:36 "Walk again."
01:38 This all-girl group is pictorial galore.
01:47 Because of the Women's Day treat,
01:49 the Friday date of Kelsey and Noah became budget-friendly.
01:54 "It's cheap.
01:56 Of all the dates that we thought of,
01:59 this is the one that we saved."
02:03 Trovak Fields is the location of Casa Manila Museum.
02:09 Here, tourists have been returned to the past
02:14 and the houses of the past Castilian times were shown.
02:19 When you go out of Casa Manila, you can ride a bike.
02:26 But whether you're a man or a woman,
02:29 there's a fee.
02:31 Some women were happy with the simple gift
02:37 and importance of them in Indramuros.
02:40 "It's great because a woman has a big influence on the family,
02:46 especially on the children.
02:48 When they give importance,
02:50 it's great for us that we were appreciated."
02:54 "It's just nice to be recognized.
02:58 Recognized and given something nice."
03:01 But some are hoping that the importance of women
03:05 will not end in a day.
03:08 "There's no discrimination against women.
03:10 All women are accepted by everyone."
03:13 "I hope we have both physical and mental peace."
03:16 "I hope women will be empowered."
03:19 For GMA Integrated News,
03:21 Oscar Uyda,
03:23 for 24 Hours.
