MANILA, Philippines — The Intramuros Administration will open Fort Santiago and Baluarte de San Diego for morning exercises of individuals fully vaccinated against COVID-19 who are in the vulnerable population starting October 30.
The vulnerable population comprises senior citizens, persons with disability, pregnant women and persons with health risks.
Those in the vulnerable population may do their morning exercises at Fort Santiago and Baluarte de San Diego every Saturday, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
“We wish to give our fellow Filipinos, especially those who belong to the vulnerable sector, a breathing, healing, and comfortable space,” Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat said in a statement.
“We see this as an opportunity for the vulnerable sector to enjoy the green spaces of Intramuros for their overall health and well-being,” Puyat said.
“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 a time in Intramuros safely,” she added.
