Jeepney phaseout strike ito no? Saan pala ito and who were the groups present? :) @Alyssa

This was in Espana @lauricegabangeles ! PISTON, Manibela, and youth orgs

Got it! Salamat :)

I think other labor groups, urban poor advocates, and other orgs were present

I also question its legal soundness. I doubt that Local Govt Code grants LGUs authority to impound.

@crsbatalla Thank you for sharing Manila Bike Commuter’s post! I’ve been hearing similiar stories. It is very worrisome that MMDA enforcers are not aware of the exception provision in their agency’s own memo circular. Keeping track of this, hoping to get enough anecdotes to see emerging patterns. Pls do keep these posts coming!

You’re welcome! MBC has been posting almost daily. He gets loads of comments and messages from LEV users sharing their stories and seeking advice. Your posts about the issue have also been very helpful. Salamat Rappler. 😊

We'll reach out to Manila Bike Commuter! @cristina I was speaking also with Geri of Pinay Bike Commuter Community and she is getting similar messages. We'll be holding a community chat next week with her group, hoping to invite even more groups, including Manila Bike Commuter.

President Marcos says he has ordered a grace period in the MMDA’s implementation of its e-bike and e-trike restriction. He says no light electric vehicle should be impounded, no users of these vehicles should be fined for now. Instead, he says government should first strengthen its awareness-raising campaign about the restriction. What are your thoughts on this development? @here

Could this simply be a graceful way out for MMDA?

The intramuros has been more socially attractive

The best thing I saw and love how Intramuros has been managed properly is that I can still saw the presence of every details especially the preservation of the things that was part of our history since the first day that I explored the Walled City up to now. Regardless if I visited day or night, rain or shine, timeless and priceless history remains the same because of how it being managed by the staff up to it's administration. I can proudly say that they continuously improve the place without being compromised to damage the original structures and details.

Since I'm a photographer that has objective in life to capture every moment and also love historical places, the only thing that I can suggest is that to open the Walled City to each photographer in order to promote the place, and produce timeless captured moments. The administration can provide guidelines to ensure the safety and preservation of the area without closing the door to photographers.

1. What I like about Intramuros is that it's like a time machine in the heart of Manila, where every cobblestone and cannon has a story to tell. It’s managed like a top-notch theme park, but for history buffs!
2. How about a treasure hunt app that guides you through the walled city’s secrets? We might even stumble upon a secret passage 👀

What I love on how Intramuros managed is they prepare different event and activities that are free.

Hello, @John Paul Pinson! This is Russell from Rappler's community team. This is a nice answer. I'd like to clarify what are the regulations regarding photographers in Intramuros ba?

I'd also like to ask if we could use your insights for a graphic to be posted on our social media pages?

The thing that I loved about Intramuros is that, it is a well managed and preserved in terms of its structural integrity througout the years. I also like that there are themed events for the entire year to keep the place more interesting while keeping the history that it brings to the people. The clean surroundings and addition of some food stalls is also nice.

i'm glad there are events like these that are held here but i hope there are more every weekend if possible, i also want the administration to please keep the whole perimeter safe specially at night.
My wish is that Intramuros will be " The Place" the new Arthub for artist, poets, photographers, buskers and everyone interested in Arts and our history.

I've been to Intramuros before and I have to say there have been steady improvements. There has been visible effort by the administration to continuously improve the facilities and tourist spots by repairing and restoring the tourist spots. #SanDiskPhilippines

For my suggestion, I hope we can allow to fly drones within the area so that independent media creators or hobbyist can have more options to showcase the beauty of the walled city.

I like how despite the development of the cities like in Makati, Pasay and the like, the original structures and culture are maintained within intramuros. I would suggest they properly advertise the place to locals better that would rather go to malls than to explore their heritage and culture.

I adore the captivating ambiance of Intramuros, with its cobblestone streets and ancient walls. To enrich the experience, introducing interactive exhibits or multimedia guides could offer visitors a more immersive journey through its storied past.

1.What I like about Intramuros is because of its rich history and also it's a safe haven for photography enthusiasts or someone who's just starting to love the photography.

2. What I suggest to the administration of Intramuros is maybe they can make it more festive like our old traditions on our provinces and also keep it more safer.

I love Intramuros because It remains a relevant setting of our history and continues to become an exemplary site for understanding the Spanish influence on Filipino identity

Intramuros is a premiere tourist destination catering most of the iconic structures rooted from the Spanish Colonial History of our country.

The devoted and hard working employees within Intramuros strives to continually puts their best effort in the preservation and protection of our beloved Walled City. Kudos Intramuros Administration! #SanDiskPhilippines

What I love about Intramuros is that they were able to restore and manage what has been destroyed and devastated during the Battle of Manila. Intramuros stands the test of time and it keeps on shining amidst challenges and modernization. #SanDiskPhilippines

What i love about intramuros is the historical site and it still remains because of the intramuros administrative they managed during the wars that happen, and now the intramuros is the one of the best asia destination. That they keep the beautiful site and preserved also be a remarkble of the filipinos #SanDiskPhilippines

The great thing about Intramuros is that it's well preserved and managed. Having various events and themes throughout the year helps as well to promote the rich historical culture of the Philippines.

Intramuros, the historic "Walled City," is more than just a tourist destination, it's a vibrant tapestry of Philippine history. As an intern here, I wouldn't just be working in an office I'd be stepping back in time, contributing to the preservation and promotion of this remarkable place. It's a chance to delve into the past, contribute to the present, and become a steward of this irreplaceable piece of Philippine history. #SanDiskPhilippines

The thing that I love about intramuros is how they manage to maintain and preserve the community itself. It really shows the dedication to how they preserve the history of the community itself. My suggestion is that they keep this up and never change they're dedication to preserving the community
#SanDiskPhilippines

1. I am amaze how the intramuros is well managed and not only they make it more accessible to everyone but also we can say that not only the management took part in maintaining the good image of intramuros but also the community and LGU. Kudos to the management and thank you for taking extra effort to maintain the intramuros. 2. Since we are now in the period where the socmed have a big impact or influence to the new generation. I think we have to use that to communicate to the new generation and introduce the importance of appreciating these historical places like intramuros as part of out history and culture. #SanDiskPhilippines

What I love about Intramuros is its cultural history, the story it has and the environment around it. It has countless stories from wars and conflicts. It is also one of the most visited and adored places in south east asia.

I hope to see more improvement in maintenance and repairs in some locations to further improve this cultural location.

#SanDiskPhilippines

Intramuros stands as compelling evidence that the vibrancy of Philippine culture and heritage endures. Great job IA!

I have been going to Intramuros since my childhood days if only to relive what our history teaches us and identity as a nation..

Intramuros is our historical heritage I like how the administration handles its historical areas and infrastructure. I appreciate how they handle the daily visitors and specially maintained its cleanliness. I highly suggest that they do more events for people to visit its wonderful ambience. #SanDiskPhilippines

Intramuros is an outstanding and breathtaking place to visit. I love the do es, souveneirs, and historical preservation of the establishments. I wish they produce some infographics to give tourist a paper token. #SanDiskPhilippines

Intramuros is one of the most prestigious historical places in the Philippines that serves as a reminder how the Filipinos conquered our Mother Land from the hands of Spaniards. I just hope the government would also allot more budget to maintain The Walled City, hire more locals as staff to also help the community, and more information to be seen for the tourists. #SanDiskPhilippines

I love intramuros on how they maintain cultural communities inside the walls. Cultural ambience is felt and retained. Informal settlers is the most issue and concerns that is needed to addressed by the intramuros administration.

Intramuros has been livelier than before. Street fares, Sunday events, bars, restos and most of all restored areas. The only suggestion we can ask is to be able to shoot freely.

Intramuros is a nice place to go to. From it's welcoming atmosphere and to its amazing view, one would come here every chance they get. The place is managed very well, in my opinion. The personnels are very friendly. I suggest having more of them since I saw some people touching models and stuff even when there was a sign not to. Nice event! #SanDiskPhilippines

Hi Gio! May we know po what you mean by “do es”? Mukhang typo? Let us know :)

I meant the doves haha! Sorry

What i like about intramuros is that it keeps most of the historical buildings. My suggestion is have more parking spaces and make the bike parking more secure. I want the admin to make a events page for all the upcoming events so that people can easily be updated. #SanDiskPhilppines

Intramuros is getting there. kudos to IA and present leadership on the ongoing improvements and efforts, be assured these do not go unnoticed. we should do something about the "padyaks". maybe cleaner bikes, operators? #SanDiskPhilippines

The way the Intramuros Administration has preserved a portion of history that might have otherwise been gone forever is something that deserves special recognition. It has been amazing to see Intramuros turn into one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Philippines. You can now see a hint of the place's illustrious yet terrible past.
I suggest is to upgrade maybe the drainage system to prevent problems
#sandiskphilippines

Personally, I like going to intramuros at night, especially biking as well. I really hope that intramuros can keep the entire area to be more lit especially that are kinda dark and i also hope that you increase the security as well.

What I love intramuros is the beautiful architecture. The walls that stands the test of time. It’s a great representation of the Philippines.

I have been going here at intramuros for so many times and i still love visiting this place. This is the very first place love to visit back then when i was a child. I love the way they preserve things that part of our past and history.

What I would recommend is to do a clean up drive on the river and please maintain the cleanliness of Intramuros

Those who send the best insights get a chance to win SanDisk and Western Digital prizes! We will also feature them in instaquotes or artcards on Rappler :) Galingan niyo and good luck! 🙌

What i love intramuros administration is preserving the historical heritage and maganda ambiance.

Kay ganda mong intramuros, kay sarap ng simoy ng hangin at amoy ng paligid. ngunit sa likod ng kagandahan, dimaan ay naranasan, landian ay natagpuan, buhay ay naiwanan

Very touristy place. Hopefully IA plants more trees though.

love, promote and live intramuros

This is my first time that I go here so far I really like the vibes, surrounding and also the maintaining the cleanliness. Having a fress air maybe because of the plants and trees. I enjoy go here.

actually this is my first time here in intramuros .. this is a great area and tourist spot in the out country, the place, the environment, the architectural design as well. hope it will preserve and maintain ..

free to shoot

I've been in intramuros several times with its cultural relevance and rich history can be enhanced by integrating modern conveniences while maintaining its legacy. To improve the entire experience for both visitors and locals, improvements could include green areas, interactive historical exhibits, pedestrian-friendly routes, and local business promotion. Enhancing the infrastructure for sustainability and accessibility would also be advantageous for its long-term allure and pleasure.

It is a good avenue to learn about our history. A good media that kids can see in real-life not just only from the books or internet. I just hope it will be more accessible to all.

First time going here at Intramuros, I already fell in love with it! If only the walls could talk, thousands of stories will be told here. The walkability of paths is great and the place shows a testament that taking care of such historical places shows significance in appreciating historical places.

I like the way they preserve the place and also the history, i suggest to have a food station

Hi! How do you suggest we make it accessible to more people?

It’s great to go back to where our history came from!

I really love Intramuros, i love visiting here. Its a great representation of the Philippines.

Preservation, Rehabilitation and Restoration#SandiskPhilippines

One of the things I adore most about Intramuros is its historical location, which has survived due to the administrative efforts of the locals during the various battles. Today, Intramuros is considered one of the top destinations in Asia. The fact that they have maintained the stunning location is noteworthy for Filipinos

I have been going in manila since my childhood and I love manila so much since that is my birthplace but time flies manila is getting hotter and hotter. I suggest they need to plant more trees on the city center not just manila but the whole country.

Any suggestions to improve it? How can the Intramuros Administration serve visitors' needs better?

For me, one word that can best describe intramuros. nostalgic. more activities like this please.

Just preserve!....untouch!! cherish!!

Intramuros has been excellently managed by featuring different locations which tells different stories in our history. There's still room for improvement by exploring and showcasing areas in other perspective through the help of our local photographer and enthusiasts. #SanDiskPhilippines

Intramuros has become a hot tourist spot again with the recent changes and developments done by the Intramuros Administration. The cleanliness and safety has greatly improved, from when my college days at Mapua. For further improvements, I guess keeping visible guards for safety and holding more events to entice not just foreigners, but also locals to revisit and enjoy Intramuros.

Today, it's a popular tourist destination offering glimpses into the country's colonial past through its well-preserved landmarks

Intramuros is a beautiful place filled with history. As a photographer, I suggest to create markers to stand on all over intramuros that has the best view possible for photos in order to give it a sense of interactivity.

As a history fan, Intramuros is one of the most important places to go and see the History in its physical form. It is mindboggling to think that we still have this place even after the war. The administration is doing a great job of preserving the more important parts of the walled city for the future generation to see.

I loved the way the intramuros admin maintain the historic wall. It gives you the classic/nostalgic feeling!! If they would add the pet friendly vibes to help stray cats and dogs in the community will be highly appreciated! Pls keep the cleanliness and more activities! Thanks

i love intramuros because its a historical place and remains me in a year of spanish

Any suggestions to Intramuros Admin to help it serve the needs of visitors better?

I hope there is visible frames that includes history per corner of the intramuros. also, have more green living things

this is my first time intramuros and i love to see historical places like this, worth visiting and the preservation well maintained.

I have always been a fan of visiting the walled city of intramuros. Growing up, I have always wondered about the history that this area behold. I love how I always find new things every time that I visit, and then the things I have seen before gets improved. Each brick on a wall or cobblestone on the floor holds its own story that teaches everyone the rich history of the place. I also love how the public can get access to certain areas to further learn more about the city's rich history. it's not only a tourist spot, but also a place to learn.

Everytime I visit Intramuros, it reminds me of my college years. I used to go here to unwind, take photos and try street foods. I enjoy exploring the area behind the historic walls, which instantly transports me back in time and I appreciate the efforts of the Intramuros administration in maintaining the beauty and nostalgic ambiance such as seeing a guardia civil at the city gates and the architecture of the area. Intramuros truly deserves to be called as a timeless beauty of Manila, and it's essential to preserve this heritage for future generations.

I've been here several times, done shoot here in Intramuros. and I found it a happy and relaxing place. I suggest, orient other guards regarding taking pictures using DSLR/Professional cameras. #SandiskPhilippines

happy to be with photographers in this kind of event, especially in this place, Intramuros is a dream come true to photograph..❤️

I love the Intramuros for its historical heritage. And now it is maintained by the admins it will pass it to the next generations. For the administration, we wish to be more open for us photographers or other creators to get the best of the Walled city. More promotions locally to be visited by many.

mahal ko ang Intramuros kasi ito lugar na nagbigay sakin ng Pag kakataon upang ipamalas ang kakayahan ko bilang Isang baguhang photographer.

Napaka ganda ng intramuros kasing ganda ng ating kasaysayan, sana ay mapanatili nito ang pagiging historical upang maabutan pa ito ng ating magiging anak, apo at ng susunod na henerasyon

1. its my second time here in intramuros and its still more amazing capturing the historical walled city.

2. More local stall with products of the philippines will promotes the country from local and foreign tourist..

Intramuros is one of our historical place that is very significant to all of us Filipinos. I love how they preserve it by maintaining the cleanliness, of the historical place.

the Intramuros as one the historical places in the Philippines, is well kept and preserve that it enables us to experience, view what is in the past.

Intramuros is one of the richest historical places in the country that is well-preserved up until the present, however, as a member of photography industry, we are limited to capture the deep essence and beauty of the place; it limits the overall experience of exploring Intramuros.

I love Intramuros because its our national heritage park. I appreciate the effort of the intramuros administration on how they take care of the park.

I have the same thoughts about the city of our birth. 🙂
indeed, this city need more greens and open spaces!

1. I love the way they managed this city and preserved the historical heritage from our history. Continue to make this city clean and open to all people who wants to visit this Heritage Park for them to learn our history.
2. Continue to make this city secured and open to all visitors, have cleaner and more Trees for clean and fresh and Seats or Sheds for the people to rest while they are visiting here..

#SanDiskPhilippines

What I love about Intramuros is that, it has a rich history and cultural significance as well as the preserved architecture and historical sites into Manila's colonial past. To make the Intramuros even more better, continue to enhance visitor experience through guided tours or interactive exhibits, as well as engaging programs that can contribute to preservation and promotion of Intramuros
#SanDiskPhilippines

Intramuros is a complex place to manage given it's age and deep history engraved on it, however there's a clear effort from the administration in preserving the historic structure and maintaining the unique characteristics of intramuros which allows tourists to experience a piece of Philippine history. A suggestion for a better visiting experience is to adapt to modern technological capabilities like developing interactive mobile map for way finding and to allow international visitors to display the historical facts or information on their local language another thing is with the application of Augmented/Virtual Reality which helps the visitors to visualize the actual looks of intramuros in this glory years
#SanDiskPhilippines

it's been a long long time when I've visited Fort Santiago. I was bit amaze with the improvement of this historical place i.e, places with names and found there a lot of scenic places around Intramuros. I suggest a route map to be places around area so that tourist can easily navigate the scenery and save time.
