00:00Let's update on the expectations and preparations for Nazareno 2025.
00:05Let's talk to the Technical and Profession or Procession Management Advisor of Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno,
00:12Mr. Alex Irazga. Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:16Good morning to all the viewers of Balitang Hali.
00:21Yes. That's the news in the Kilinu Grandstand.
00:23Is that continuous 24 hours until the departure on the early day of Thursday?
00:28It started last night after the special meal for our volunteers.
00:34And it will continue even though the procession will start until there is a queue for our worship service.
00:42Okay. What are the changes in the expectations and preparations for the procession for the devotees this year?
00:49Okay. The first change in our expectations is that we decided to make the number of people above the procession smaller.
00:59And for this occasion, we made sure that only on the two sides,
01:05there will be people who will be guarding the procession and will be wearing the towels that our devotees will be wearing
01:14so that it will be visible on the outside of the cross and on the mirror of the image.
01:20We left a large number of people in front of the procession so that the number of people will be reduced.
01:26We are also making an effort to address the problem of fog and the moisture of the mirrors.
01:37That's why we put a sunroof on the roof of the procession so that there will be natural light coming in.
01:46We will be able to turn off the lights in the morning.
01:48This is one of the ways that we can see the moisture and heat.
01:52We also put an exhaust machine on top of the procession so that the heat will be sucked in
01:59so that the temperature of the outside will be balanced with the temperature of the inside of the image.
02:09The first instruction that we give to all of our devotees, to our children, to our relatives in Balangay,
02:20to those who will attend the procession,
02:22is that you can go to the other side of the procession.
02:25You can go to the other side of the procession.
02:27We are just asking you to do this properly.
02:31If we are going to go to the other side of the procession,
02:33we should go to the other side of the procession
02:35and we should not go to the other side of the procession
02:38because our goal is to show our Lord God to more of our fellowmen,
02:46rather than to the devotees that we see.
02:48Yes, that is what you are talking about,
02:50what you said in the chapters,
02:53because you also had calls last year,
02:56but this year, where the procession is already closed,
02:59there are still many who want to go.
03:01Now, you have improved that,
03:03but still expect that there will still be people who will go.
03:07Sir Raffy, the effort of our Church continues to talk to our fellowmen and devotees.
03:15While we are doing that,
03:18we are also continuing our technical efforts to prevent that.
03:23In regards to the children, to those who will attend the procession,
03:28as compared in the previous years before the pandemic,
03:31this past year,
03:33I am not saying that there will be fewer.
03:36If you count that, there are no more than 30 people.
03:39Before, there were more than 100 people going up and down,
03:43up and down.
03:44There were no more than 30.
03:46Now, we are trying to make it smaller.
03:49We hope that there will be only 20 people going up and down.
03:54Also, last December 31,
03:58we had a thanksgiving procession.
04:00There were no more devotees who went up and down the truck.
04:05There were only 4 people who went up and down the truck.
04:10There were no more.
04:12There were no more devotees who went up and down.
04:15I hope that our view on that will also change,
04:18so that we can avoid disgrace.
04:20What are the Church leaders preparing for this year?
04:23We understand that the complaints of the past years,
04:26when they were thrown away,
04:28almost no one will be able to clean it.
04:30So, only a few will be returned.
04:32Now, I am sure that they will be able to return
04:34the plates that were thrown away.
04:37First, the proper preparation.
04:39We are preparing our spiritual well-being.
04:43The Church is forming formations.
04:46We are going through the months of gathering
04:50to strengthen our spiritual well-being.
04:54Also, the proper attitude towards the worship of the Church.
04:59The throwing of plates and plates
05:03is a part of our procession.
05:09It is understandable.
05:12As soon as it is thrown away,
05:14it will be returned to the last person who threw it away.
05:18Sometimes, it will be passed on.
05:20When it is thrown away,
05:22it will be passed on to another person
05:25who is nearby.
05:27When it is thrown away,
05:30it will not be returned to the first person who threw it away.
05:33It will be returned to the person who threw it away.
05:37The problem is,
05:38when it is thrown away,
05:39it will not be seen.
05:40Because it is at the bottom,
05:42it will not be seen where the plate came from.
05:45That is the only problem.
05:47Okay.
05:48It took almost 15 hours for the translation of one year.
05:51It is the same route this year.
05:53Is it our target to return the whole Church
05:56as soon as possible this year?
05:58If the worship of the Church
06:01or the following of our devotees,
06:03of our believers,
06:05will be more strict,
06:07if the main talks
06:09to make our worship
06:11holy, safe, and proper,
06:14and to make it more festive,
06:17more joyful worship,
06:19we believe it will be faster than 15 hours.
06:22But if there is a problem,
06:24our leadership is ready
06:27to make our worship
06:29longer.
06:34Okay. Thank you very much
06:36for the information you shared in the news this afternoon.
06:38Thank you very much.
06:40Long live to you.
06:41Viva Señor Jesus Nazareno.
06:43I am the Executive and Procession Management Advisor
06:45of the Catholic Church, Alex Sirasga.
