MANILA — The Manila local government unit (LGU) announced on Sunday (June 23, 2024) that several roads will be closed on Monday (June 24, 2024) in observance of the city’s 453rd founding anniversary, known as Manila Day.
Starting at midnight on June 24, the following main roads will be closed to traffic: Onyx Street from Pedro Gil to Zobel Roxas, Zobel Roxas Street from Pablo Ocampo to Pasig Line, and Florentino Torres Street, also known as Dagonoy Street.
