According to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA)<\/strong>, security exclusion zones around the PICC and Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP)<\/strong> will be implemented in two phases.<\/p>\n

During Phase 1: Controlled Access (October 24 to November 8, 2026)<\/strong>, partial access restrictions will be implemented in designated areas, with security checkpoints requiring visitors to undergo screening and verification. While under Phase 2: Restricted Access (November 9 to 18, 2026),<\/strong> stricter security measures will take effect, limiting entry to authorized personnel and vehicles with valid access credentials.<\/p>\n

Motorists are advised to avoid Macapagal Boulevard, the World Trade Center area, Diokno Boulevard, and portions of Roxas Boulevard<\/strong> because of expected traffic congestion. Designated bus lanes will also temporarily serve as ASEAN lanes<\/strong> for official vehicles and delegations.<\/p>\n
