Intramuros and the displays of art found in the National Museum of the Philippines, both of which are connected to Manila's City Hall by the pedestrian underpass. As part of the redesign, many features were implemented to address previous common complaints about the pedestrian underpass. Non-slip slate tiles were installed to prevent slipping during rainy seasons. 24/7 lighting and security cameras were installed to deter crime. Books from Underground, a thrift store which formerly did business in the underpass' walkway will be the only establishment allowed by the city government to operate. The underpass also features directional signages that include writing in Baybayin designed by Far Eastern University alumna Raven Angel “Ramri” Rivota. The National Commission for Culture and the Arts and Baybayin Buhayin, Inc. also helped to ensure accurate translation and proper use of font. Mural The and mural was designed and completed by artists Marianne Rios, Jano Gonzales, and Ianna Engano; members of the artist collective Gerilya. The artists were chosen by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts who were tasked by the Manila City Hall's Department of Engineering and Public Works. The mural, titled "Masigasig na Maynila", depicts significant events and figures throughout the history of Manila. Such figures depicted include Andrés Bonifacio, José Rizal, Emilio Jacinto, Rajah Sulayman, and many others. Production on the mural started in late February 2020 but was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When work resumed, depictions of frontliners and civil servants were added to the mural as a tribute to their efforts throughout the pandemic. The mural was unveiled as the main centerpiece during the inauguration which took place on August 24, 2020, a week before National Heroes' Day. Bas relief As part of the redesign, a Bas relief is planned to be installed to complement the mural. Interactive display An interactive display showing information about the City of Manila including tourist destinations and public transport routes is also planned to be installed. Books from Underground In 2019, Mayor Isko Moreno started a major renovation of the pedestrian underpass. In preparation for the renovation, illegal vendors were cleared from the walkway. Due to public outcry, one vendor, AJ Laberinto of Books from Underground, was permitted to operate once more at the pedestrian underpass. A stall complete with bookshelves was included in the design to allow the bookstore to operate. References Subway (underpass) Buildings and structures in Manila Pedestrian
