The government has shut down the Baywalk along Roxas Boulevard to prevent the surge of sightseers and swimmers as the rehabilitation of Manila Bay continues.

'NO SWIMMING'. Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Roy Cimatu makes a surprise inspection at the Baywalk area of Manila Bay near the US embassy in Manila on Wednesday (Feb. 6, 2019). DENR officials put a 'No Swimming' signage and railings in the area to prevent the public from swimming as the quality of water in the area is not yet fit for recreational activities.
