There's nothing holy about that week.
The Encyclopædia Britannica comments: “There is no indication of the observance of the Easter festival in the New Testament, or in the writings of the apostolic Fathers. The sanctity of special times was an idea absent from the minds of the first Christians.”—(1910), Vol. VIII, p. 828.
The Catholic Encyclopedia tells us: “A great many pagan customs, celebrating the return of spring, gravitated to Easter. The egg is the emblem of the germinating life of early spring. . . . The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been an emblem of fertility.”—(1913), Vol. V, p. 227.
In the book The Two Babylons, by Alexander Hislop, we read: “What means the term Easter itself? It is not a Christian name. It bears its Chaldean origin on its very forehead. Easter is nothing else than Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven, whose name, . . . as found by Layard on the Assyrian monuments, is Ishtar. . . . Such is the history of Easter. The popular observances that still attend the period of its celebration amply confirm the testimony of history as to its Babylonian character. The hot cross buns of Good Friday, and the dyed eggs of Pasch or Easter Sunday, figured in the Chaldean rites just as they do now.”—(New York, 1943), pp. 103, 107, 108; compare Jeremiah 7:18.

As previously answered, it is open, it would not be closed unless there's a special event going on, in that case, only the roads going to it might be closed/blocked then you'll have to walk the rest of the way to get there. Most probably, a lot of parties are celebrated at the Baywalk Area.

Of course!
The Baywalk area is a long walkway on the seaside portion of Roxas Boulevard in the City of Manila. People can access it anytime. Because it's like a park. There are restaurants/bistros where you can dine in open air (at night) while a lively band is playing, and tourists amble along the lane leisurely to savor the fresh air and imbibe the ambience of the place.

It is an open space, it is never closed to the public. It is a walking area, so regardless of day, holiday or not, people can freely access it.
