00:00 The procession of the Black Nazarene was held again
00:05 after it was suspended for three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:10 Let's find out the update on the translation from Ryan Lesigues live.
00:15 Ryan?
00:16 Here in the Church of Christ in Quiapo,
00:23 the Holy Mass is being held
00:26 while the procession of the Black Nazarene is being waited for.
00:31 While the procession of the Black Nazarene is being held here in Quiapo Church,
00:37 the number of devotees who are waiting for the procession is increasing.
00:42 Even here in the Church,
00:44 in Tayanina of Manila Police District,
00:46 the number of devotees who are waiting for the procession is almost half a million.
00:51 But the authorities are expecting
00:53 that the number of devotees will increase until the procession reaches the Church.
00:57 Here is our interview with Police Col. Arnold Ibai,
01:00 the District Director of Manila Police District.
01:03 We are still observing the weather.
01:07 If the weather will hamper their interest in going or attending this procession,
01:13 if it will stop them from going,
01:17 we will know as the procession is being delayed.
01:22 We will see that in the number of people.
01:24 In the other side of the Niña,
01:26 MPD said that the procession is still peaceful in 2024.
01:31 Of course, since December 30, Thanksgiving,
01:37 in our two weeks, it's generally peaceful
01:39 and we are hoping and praying that it will be like that
01:42 until our procession is finished.
01:48 In the Niña, they say that some of them are being forced to go to the procession.
01:54 We can arrest those who broke the law to not go to the procession.
02:04 Now, what's good is that they can vote,
02:07 those who are being forced to go to the procession,
02:09 so that they will not go to the procession.
02:11 But there are still those who are not going.
02:15 There are still those who are being forced to go to the procession.
02:20 More than 30 people were forced to go to the procession on Monday
02:24 after being killed while following the procession.
02:27 Because of the procession, MPD said that the procession will be faster
02:33 compared to the previous translations.
02:38 Maybe we estimate that it will still take 16 hours
02:45 or even earlier if we can follow the pacing of the procession.
02:51 But the real challenge here is the slowdown.
02:54 Here in Masisikipna Daan,
02:56 on the right is Fraternal,
02:58 on the left is Vergara, Dicuy de Alba, Castillejos,
03:03 Parnesio, Pago, Colombas, and Maycar, sir.
03:07 That is the challenge because the procession is slow.
03:09 The places mentioned by the MPD Director
03:14 are the places that they are watching
03:15 because of the slowdown.
03:17 And one of the things that is changing in the procession
03:20 is the youth and some devotees
03:23 who are really being forced to go to the procession.
03:25 Here outside the Cabo Church,
03:27 on the side of Plaza Miranda,
03:29 you can see here behind me,
03:30 the devotees are continuing to enter
03:34 while on the other side of Quezon Boulevard,
03:37 where the procession is expected to pass,
03:39 before entering the church,
03:41 it is already full of devotees.
03:44 Some of them really passed by last night
03:47 and waited until this morning
03:50 until this time,
03:51 no one will leave there.
03:53 They also put big screens, LED screens,
03:57 so that those who did not expect to enter the Church
04:01 can only watch the Holy Mass there.
04:05 Aside from that,
04:05 prayer stations were also placed
04:09 along Quezon Boulevard
04:10 so that the people can pray
04:12 while waiting for the procession to pass.
04:15 Here on the side of Plaza Miranda,
04:18 the two X-ray machines that were placed yesterday
04:23 and the metal walk-through detector are still there.
04:25 And until now,
04:26 there are still many illegal items
04:29 like knives and other items that are being recovered by the authorities.
04:32 But the PNP's statement that there is no security
04:36 regarding the procession is still there
04:38 and it is still safe until this time.
04:41 Nina?
04:42 Ryan, let's make it clear,
04:46 you are not allowed to enter the procession.
04:50 You are right, Nina.
04:52 That is the important thing to remind
04:54 the PNP, the authorities, and the Church
04:58 so that it will not be a problem
05:00 and some of the devotees will not be hurt.
05:03 But some of the people we talked to earlier,
05:06 they were really waiting,
05:08 they were really trying to enter
05:10 because their reason for that is that they are really praying,
05:13 and they said that their participation in the procession
05:17 will not be completed if they cannot enter.
05:19 Some of them were injured,
05:21 some of them had minor injuries to their bodies.
05:24 But so far, the good news here is that
05:27 there are some who were given first aid, Nina,
05:30 and no serious injuries were found in the procession.
05:35 The authorities are hoping that this procession will continue
05:39 until the procession is completed
05:41 and the procession can enter the Church.
05:44 Along the roads, Nina,
05:46 in the processions that are being passed,
05:48 there are field hospitals there
05:50 that are set up by the local government of Manila,
05:53 and some of them are set up by the Philippine Red Cross
05:57 so that they can help immediately to give first aid
06:00 to those who will be injured here in the procession.
06:06 Ryan, what time will the procession arrive?
06:12 Well, Nina, in our conversation with the Manila Police District
06:16 and the Church of Quiapo,
06:21 the procession will take 16 to 22 hours.
06:27 The MPD said earlier that the baseline is 16 hours
06:31 because the beginning of the procession was good.
06:34 There was a problem somewhere along the Ayala Bridge
06:38 when some of the young devotees
06:42 who were passing through the procession
06:43 because it was slow in the procession.
06:46 But they said that it's possible to take 16 hours.
06:49 There's no definite time, Nina,
06:51 because they're looking at the flow of the procession
06:55 along the way to here
06:56 because the narrow roads,
06:59 that's what they're looking at now
07:01 that it's possible to slow down.
07:03 The ground estimate of the authorities,
07:06 the Church of Quiapo said that it's possible to slow down
07:08 to 2 million per hour.
07:10 But the people, Nina, come and go.
07:12 When the time is near the procession,
07:15 when it's near the crossroads,
07:17 they'll pull out, run here to the Church of Quiapo,
07:19 to pray, and go straight home to their homes.
07:23 So Ryan, if 16 hours is the time
07:27 of the procession or the translation,
07:30 what time do you estimate, I'm not sure,
07:33 but what's the estimated time of arrival, Jaan?
07:36 Earlier, we talked to MPD Director Ibai,
07:40 Colonel Ibai, he said that
07:42 probably if the phase of the procession
07:44 doesn't change before midnight,
07:47 it's possible to enter,
07:49 to arrive here at the Church of Quiapo.
07:51 But that's just a rough estimate,
07:53 they're still looking at it now.
07:55 Another thing, Nina,
07:57 in the possible slowdown,
07:58 aside from the crowd,
08:00 is the weather.
08:02 Here at the Church of Quiapo,
08:04 the weather is changing,
08:06 there are people who are praying.
08:08 Now, the weather is okay,
08:10 there's no prayer,
08:10 there's no strong heat of the sun,
08:14 but sometimes, people are praying.
08:15 That's one factor that the authorities
08:19 are looking at, the time of the procession,
08:21 when will the weather return here
08:22 inside the Church of Quiapo.
08:25 But that's just one thing that's certain,
08:27 Nina, it's faster
08:28 compared to the speed of the translation
08:31 of the past years.
08:33 Nina?
08:34 Yes, it's more organized now.
08:36 Be careful, Jaan.
08:37 Thank you very much.
08:38 Ryan Lesigues.
08:41 Compared to the past translations,
08:43 the procession of the Black Nazarene
08:47 started earlier this morning.
08:50 Although it was fast,
08:51 the devotees were happy
08:52 that they saw the miraculous image.
08:55 My report,
08:56 this is Claycell Cordilla.
08:57 Claycell?
08:59 It's almost 10 in the morning
09:00 when the Black Nazarene
09:04 arrived here at R. Lesigues Street.
09:06 The devotees did not stop
09:08 to worship the Nazarene.
09:11 What you can see behind me
09:14 is the group of people
09:17 who are celebrating,
09:18 greeting,
09:20 and giving glory
09:21 to the Black Nazarene.
09:23 Before the pandemic,
09:25 at 8 in the evening,
09:26 the procession would arrive here.
09:29 But this year,
09:30 with the new weather,
09:31 the devotees started earlier.
09:34 Maybe because of their happy faces,
09:36 the Nazarene visited again.
09:39 This was the last time they were here
09:41 in 2020.
09:42 From R. Lesigues,
09:44 the procession of the Nazarene
09:45 went to Fraternal Street.
09:47 The road was winding,
09:48 so the devotees were tired.
09:50 Their feet were sweaty and full of blood.
09:53 But the fatigue and the crowd
09:55 were not insignificant.
09:56 Their courage and faith
09:58 in the Black Nazarene
10:00 was shown.
10:01 There was a slow procession
10:03 to the small streets
10:05 of Vergara, Duca de Alba,
10:07 and Castillejos.
10:08 Maybe because this religious event
10:09 was missed,
10:11 some devotees did not stop
10:14 and joined the procession
10:15 that was slow.
10:18 From there,
10:19 it went to R. Lesigues
10:23 to the procession.
10:25 The devotees were happy
10:28 to see the procession.
10:30 They felt the joy
10:32 because some residents
10:34 shared food and water
10:35 and were happy.
10:37 In these times,
10:39 the joy of the people
10:43 in R. Lesigues Street
10:46 was visible.
10:47 They were excited
10:50 because they saw the Nazarene
10:53 and they really wanted to
10:56 bless
10:57 the Nazarene's road.
11:01 The procession
11:04 is still going on.
11:07 Here is the latest
11:09 from R. Lesigues Street,
11:12 Claycell Pardilla
11:13 for the people.
11:15 Thank you very much,
11:18 Claycell Pardilla.
