Traslacion at home, fanatics urged
By J.Lo
"It's better if they can attend by watching online instead…we're sure the Lord would understand because of physical limitations," Philippine National Police (PNP) public information officer Jean Fajardo said as millions of people are expected to flock to the city of Manila for traslacion or procession of Black Nazarene on Jan. 9,2024, PNP urged devotees to consider joining religious feast online.
Fajardo said people particularly senior citizens and those with medical conditions should opt to watch procession through online platforms instead of physically attending activity.
After three-year hiatus due to COVID-19 pandemic, PNP is expecting nearly two million devotees of Black Nazarene to join procession.
Fajardo also urged parents not to bring their children to traslacion for their safety.
"Don't even attempt to bring your children because we expect there will be huge crowd there," she said.
At least 15,200 police officers will secure traslacion which will start at Quirino Grandstand and will end at Quiapo Church.
Philippine Red Cross chairman Richard Gordon said they will deploy at least 1,000 volunteers for traslacion.
Their volunteers, with training in first aid and medical treatment, will be at their 10 first aid stations and welfare desks along procession route.
Six teams of foot patrollers will also serve as mobile first aiders, Gordon said.
"We will mobilize our volunteers from different chapters in NCR ,National Capital Region and Rizal province to accommodate medical needs of devotees," he said in statement.
Humanitarian organization has also readied 17 ambulance units, one fire truck, two rescue boats and amphibian for Roman Ctholic religious event.
Alcoholic beverages, firecrackers and fireworks will be banned in Manila during traslacion or annual procession of Black Nazarene, city government announced.
Liquor ban will be in effect from Jan. 8 to 10, based on Mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan's Executive Order No. 1 Series of 2024.
Sale of alcoholic drinks will be prohibited within 500-meter radius of Quiapo Church and St. John the Baptist Church, she said.
Lacuna-Pangan also ordered ban on use, sale, manufacture and distribution of firecrackers and other pyrotechnic devices in Manila from Jan. 8 to 9, according to her Executive Order.
Both issuances sought to "promote peace and order" and "maintain sanctity of celebration and minimize, if not totally avoid, injuries to all who will attend Feast of Black Nazarene."
City government also advised motorists to avoid using roads that would be part of route of traslacion, usually lasts almost entire day.
Portions of Bonifacio Drive, Katigbak Drive, South Drive, Roxas Boulevard, P. Burgos street, Finance Road, Ma. Orosa street, Taft Avenue, Romualdez street, Ayala Boulevard, Carlos Palanca street, P. Casal street, Legarda street, Quezon Boulevard and the westbound lane of España Boulevard will be closed from 9 p.m. on Jan. 8 until Jan. 9.
Local government added motorists should consider other routes when going in and out of Manila during annual procession, being held for first time in three years due to COVID pandemic.
