00:00To enjoy more of the history of Intramuros in Manila,
00:08there is a road that was made exclusive for those who walk and ride a bicycle.
00:13Marizo Mali is here!
00:15Hey Nationalians, we are here at Casa Manila Museum in Intramuros.
00:21Relaxed in walking and vlogging their Intramuros trip,
00:24these are tourism students along General Luna Street in Intramuros, Manila.
00:29Since yesterday, only pedestrians and bikers can pass
00:33on the more than 9-kilometer stretch of General Luna Street
00:36from Fort Santiago to Pamantasan Lungsod in Manila.
00:39We were given guidance, we were given importance
00:42on the mobility of the people or being pedestrian-friendly.
00:47We can reduce the number of tourists.
00:49Because of the narrow streets here in Intramuros,
00:53the number of tourists is almost the same as the number of cars.
00:57That's why we built a street for bikers and pedestrians only.
01:03The former asphalt and cemented roads were replaced with bricks
01:08so that it's easier to determine which roads are prohibited for cars.
01:11If there is a car passing by, it's only for emergencies
01:14or for offices and establishments on General Luna Street.
01:18There are no more cars, there is less pollution.
01:21That's how we can provide a better environment for our tourists
01:27because of walking and biking.
01:29These bikers are enjoying their walks and exercising.
01:33The feeling of other tourists in Intramuros is safe and secure,
01:37whether they are lovers or Gen Z.
01:39It's nice to walk around here in Intra,
01:42that's why we extended one more hour.
01:45Since we live now today in the 21st century,
01:48there are no more places like Intramuros
01:53where you can still see the beauty of history and history.
01:56It's a vintage place.
01:58At the same time, the history of this place
02:03is more treasured than the memories of the past.
02:08The people from the province and Baniaga were also happy with the walk,
02:11even if it rained.
02:12It's really perfect for pedestrians.
02:14We stopped, took photos.
02:17It felt very safe.
02:18We are more safe and comfortable in the place we are passing through.
02:22For PWDs to enjoy,
02:25the accessibility ramp here has been fixed and improved.
02:28For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali for 24 Hours.
