The seawall will serve as protection of Manila Bay from storm surge during occurrence of typhoon. Seawall pathways will also serve as easy access to tourists mesmerized by the famous Manila Bay sunset.
The DPWH under the leadership of Secretary Mark Villar also noted that a jogger's lane which is now starting to become a component of DPWH projects was likewise included in the Pasay Seawall project to encourage fitness and wellness activities for local Manila residents and tourists since the place is also a site for sporting events like triathlon, marathons, cycling, and fun runs.
