00:00Let's see how long the line is for those who want to join the Kirinu Grandstand.
00:17First on the spot is Oscar Oida, who is in charge of the Kirinu Grandstand.
00:22Oscar?
00:24Yes, Rafi, yesterday we also did a live stream here in Balitanghali, here at the Kirinu Grandstand.
00:30At the same time, and yesterday, the line was only 300 meters long
00:36from where the kissing took place until before the Roast Boulevard approached.
00:42And now, this is literally where the Roast Boulevard reached.
00:46The line reached here in front of Luneta.
00:50We can see here in front of Luneta, particularly here at 0 kilometers
00:55where you can see the statue of Calabao here in front of the monument of Rizal.
01:02So, the line is that long.
01:04And we can see here, there are a lot of people here.
01:07There are old people, there are children.
01:09The heat of the sun is no longer tolerable.
01:12Earlier, you mentioned that it was a bit gloomy.
01:14Now, the weather is really getting hotter.
01:17But they continue to persevere here.
01:20They can only reach the whole Jesus Nazarene
01:23so that they can personally pray, hold, and wipe.
01:27So, let's find out, let's find out.
01:29What are your prayers, sir?
01:32It's okay, I can ask.
01:33What is your name, sir?
01:35Rupino Luzon.
01:37I just want to ask, what are your plans to pray when you reach there?
01:42My first prayer is my wife's dialysis.
01:45She's been on dialysis for three years.
01:47I hope she recovers soon.
01:49My children are sick.
01:52My daughter will get her board exam in April.
01:55And I hope the whole family will be healthy.
02:00So, you're just going to hold the line?
02:03Yes, we're just going to hold it.
02:04It's really a sacrifice to get the minimity of the whole Nazarene.
02:09The weather is a bit hot.
02:10The line is long.
02:11It's not bad for my wife.
02:13I can handle it.
02:15With the help of God.
02:17It's really a sacrifice.
02:19Yes.
02:20Okay, thank you very much, sir.
02:21Okay, as we mentioned, the weather is hot.
02:24The line is long.
02:25This is just a temporary arrangement by some businessmen here.
02:28Some are selling umbrellas.
02:30Aside from that, as we mentioned earlier,
02:33some are selling calendars, towels, and handkerchiefs by Pungisos Nazareno.
02:39And many are selling food
02:42because the people here are lined up.
02:44They can't leave the line just to buy food.
02:48There, there are people walking around here.
02:50As of the moment, Rafi, according to the policemen we talked to,
02:54the estimated population here in the area of Quirinogransan,
02:59where we are right now, is more than 14,000.
03:03Not only those who are lined up, but also those around.
03:05But those who lined up here today,
03:08as of 12 o'clock last night,
03:10the number has reached 24,088,
03:14according to those who are counting.
03:16And it's possible.
03:17It's a big possibility.
03:20As time goes by,
03:22as the feast of Jesus Nazareno gets closer and closer,
03:24more people will line up here in Quirinogransan
03:28for the wedding or the offering of food to the whole of Jesus Nazareno.
03:32Back to you, Rafi.
03:35Thank you very much, Oscar Oida.
03:37Thank you, Oscar Oida.
