00:00Not only in the faith, but also in the history and culture of the Filipinos,

00:05the Church of Quiapo has a big role.

00:08That's why some are helping to make the Quiapo a heritage zone.

00:13Saksi Live's Nico Wahid.

00:15Nico?

00:20Connie, there are devotees who chose to go to the Church of Quiapo today

00:23instead of being with the people from tomorrow until January 9.

00:28No matter what day it is, the Church of Quiapo will still answer their prayers.

00:38The Quiapo is a place where many people pass by.

00:41And since then, what is left behind are stories,

00:46traditions that became a culture in the long run.

00:49Just like the prayer in the Church of Quiapo of the Flores family of Malabon.

00:56It was in the 1970s that Consuelo became a devotee.

01:00She even brought in her nieces, Melody, Aileen, and Priscila.

01:05These three gave me a great trial to live.

01:11They were still small when their parents died.

01:14Because of my prayer to the Lord God, He guided me until now.

01:19Since then, they have grown to worship at the same time.

01:23And it doesn't matter what day it is.

01:26That's why before the feast on January 9,

01:28they decided to worship until there are no more people.

01:31It's a family prayer because that's what you're going to hold on to.

01:35Nothing, as long as the Lord God went here.

01:39The story of the Flores family,

01:41together with millions of devotees who have been praying in the Church of Quiapo for years.

01:46It's a different talk of the community,

01:48or we can call it locals, around the Church of Quiapo.

01:52The joint story and dedication of the Quiapo District in history

01:56is a sufficient reason to make it a National Heritage Cultural Zone

02:00that is being promoted again in the Senate.

02:03In 2022, it was decided to protect, preserve, conserve,

02:08and promote the colorful history and contribution of the entire Quiapo to the country.

02:13In fact, a coalition was formed to help lawmakers to approve it.

02:19That's the Quiapo of Pusoco Incorporated.

02:22They are now implementing the requirements requested by the Senate.

02:26I don't think this is what we're talking about.

02:29The entire Quiapo will be...

02:31There is just a specific stretch along Hidalgo of Quiapo,

02:35including San Sebastian,

02:37the cultural heritage houses along Hidalgo,

02:44up to the Quiapo Church, Plaza Miranda.

02:48If approved, like other heritage sites,

02:51the Quiapo will receive a fund from the government for conservation.

02:55But according to Quiapo of Pusoco Incorporated,

02:58a lot more needs to be planned for this to happen.

03:02This will help to get rid of the bad image of the Quiapo.

03:06Before, the image of the Quiapo was ugly.

03:11But now, people start to see the real beauty of the Quiapo.

03:14Behind this is the stereotyping that the Quiapo has.

03:19But now, they can see that there is a cultural heritage zone.

03:23The Quiapo is also a cultural heritage aspect that can be expanded.

03:32Conies, for now, there are no people here in the Quiapo.

03:36But expect that from tomorrow, more devotees will come here.

03:41And from tomorrow, X-rays and walk-through metal scanners will be used

03:45at the entry point here in Palangka Street, Corner Villa Lobos,

03:49where the Quiapo will enter.

03:51Everything will be done by X-rays before it can be entered.

03:55It is assured that there will be a long line when it is set up.

03:59That's why they say that there will be a long line of patients.

04:03And live from Quiapo, Manila,

04:06for GMA Integrated News, I am Nico Juaez, your witness.

04:11Conies, be the first to watch.
