In a release dated April 19, the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) said it will be restricting entry into the CCP Complex in preparation for the annual Aliwan Fiesta, which starts tomorrow, April 26, and lasts until Saturday, April 28.
“The streets of Leandro Locsin and Vicente Sotto will be closed due to the installation of Judges’ Stand and control booth until end of the event. Entrance to the PDC Parking area will be made through Pedro Bukaneg corner Leandro Locsin Streets (beside the Pasay City Police Station). Vicente Sotto Street (Roxas Boulevard to Magdalena Jalandoni Street) will be closed due to rehearsals and other Aliwan Fiesta related activities,” CCP said in their release.
Aliwan Fiesta, however, will not be the end of the road closures around CCP, as Iglesia Ni Kristo is set to hold an event that will see the whole stretch of Roxas Boulevard (Luneta to EDSA) closed from 10 pm on May 5 to 10 pm on May 6.

In the same release, CCP suggested that service vehicles for those who work within the complex take the following routes as entry and exit points:
- Vehicles and motorists coming from Manila, Quezon City, Pasig City, and Makati City are required to pass through EDSA leading to the Mall of Asia Globe Monument Rotunda and take Diokno Boulevard passing through the Senate Building and Manila Film Center.
- Motorists and vehicles coming from Cavite, Las Piñas, and Parañaque are advised to pass the same route through the Mall of Asia Globe Monument Rotunda onwards (i.e. Diokno Blvd. passing through Senate Building and Manila Film Center) in order to enter the CCP Complex.
Simply follow these routes and your trips to CCP should go off without a hitch. Here’s to hoping everyone enjoys their time during Aliwan Fiesta from tomorrow until Saturday!
