00:30The whole force of GMA Integrated News is focused on delivering the latest news related to the feast of St. Jesus of Nazareth.

00:40I will be broadcasting live from Minor Basilica, National Shrine of St. Jesus of Nazareth, Okiapu Church for the situation of the devotees of this feast.

00:48And from here at GMA Integrated News Center, we will also be delivering other big news inside and outside the country.

00:57The feast of St. Jesus of Nazareth, Okiapu Church, is continuously held here at Minor Basilica, National Shrine of St. Jesus of Nazareth.

01:03And just as expected, the PNP and other uniformed services are monitoring the area around the church

01:09where thousands of people are waiting for the arrival of St. Jesus of Nazareth.

01:14Aside from security, the PNP is ensuring that the devotees will enter the Plaza Miranda before they can enter the Okiapu Church.

01:23The weather is cloudy, the sun is not that bright, but it feels hot especially when you are in the middle of the crowd of people.

01:30As per tradition, many of the devotees are walking with their feet on the ground.

01:34There are still many children and infants, despite the authority's request,

01:39that the children should not be gathered here in the part of the Okiapu Church because of the spread of the plague.

01:44However, the situation around the Okiapu Church is still fine.

01:48The streets will be entering this place.

01:53From Spain, people are already walking towards this part of the Okiapu Church because the streets are already closed.

01:59The atmosphere is very festive.

02:01Just like in the past years, many people are selling from memorabilia to food.

02:07Now, it is not that crowded, but later, this place will be full of people.

02:13Meanwhile, the procession of Pungisos Nazareno in Catigbac Drive is rambling.

02:18According to the investigation, there was a shooting a few meters away from the street.

02:22The GMA Integrated News Team found a man who was brought to the precinct because he was the one who started the shooting of some devotees.

02:30It happened when the street was closed.

02:32The police responded and the chaos was brought to a standstill.

02:35The procession continued.

02:37According to the man, his friend was the one who was hit by an accident in a group of youths and he was the only one who was shot.

02:43He was injured in the body.

03:05The hope for the life of Jesus Nazareno.

03:24That was the message of Manila Archbishop Jose Cardinal Advincola at the Mass before the procession of Jesus Nazareno started.

03:32Some of the devotees were shocked by the presence of faith in Jesus Nazareno.

03:37This is the message of Bea Pinlak.

03:40Long live Jesus Nazareno!

03:43Long live!

03:44May God always bless you.

03:48Thousands of devotees.

03:50Thousands of towels were laid.

03:52Thousands of prayers.

03:54For one Jesus Nazareno.

03:57The high faith of Jesus Nazareno was revived by the Mayor of Quilino Grandstand earlier.

04:03Some were shocked by the prayer.

04:06Others were moved by their faith.

04:10We have hope because Jesus Nazareno is alive.

04:19We have hope because the beloved Lord is alive.

04:28Whenever we shout Viva to the beloved Lord,

04:35we say that the beloved Lord is alive.

04:43We have hope because the beloved Lord is alive.

04:53Susan has been praying with her family for almost a decade.

04:58Her husband lost his sight in 1997.

05:02But despite this trial, their lives are still filled with miracles.

05:08God did not forsake us.

05:10He gave us a different life.

05:12All the trials in our lives, I only trusted Him.

05:16I really felt that He did not forsake us.

05:20I really felt it.

05:22Not only the family and friends were united by faith in Jesus Nazareno.

05:28The group of Nanay Rosita did not get together.

05:31Their faith was broken.

05:33It is said that this will be passed on to the next generation.

05:37Until now, I have been praying.

05:39May God accept our prayers so that our faith in Him will continue.

05:50According to the Philippine National Police,

05:52more than 100,000 devotees attended the feast of Jesus Nazareno at the Quirino Grandstand earlier this evening.

06:00Relatively peaceful and good.

06:03The ongoing mass will be held at the Quirino Grandstand.

06:07Bea Pinlac reporting for GMA Integrated News.

06:14Good news for those who are praying at the Quirino Grandstand.

06:18The weather here in Metro Manila will be fine today.

06:23Based on the rainfall forecast of Metro Weather,

07:51In other news, almost 400 foreigners were arrested in the raid of the Bureau of Immigration yesterday in Paranaque.

07:59According to the BI, the operation of the traitors was a failure.

08:03This includes various scams that target victims abroad.

08:07They are under the custody of the BI, and they are being processed to be responsible for the law and to be deported.

08:15Now, in 2025, the Department of Public Works and Highways will start several large infrastructure projects.

08:21This includes the construction of EDSA to facilitate the commuting of travelers.

08:27Also, the Bataan-Kavite Interlink Bridge, which runs through Manila Bay.

08:32Calamba-Sucat Expressway, which runs through Laguna Lake.

08:37Patitulay in Zamboanga-Cebugay, which runs through Olotanga Island and other places in Zamboanga Peninsula.

08:56Good morning, fellow countrymen and fellow countrymen, and fellow countrymen,

09:00for joining the procession of Jesus Nazareno in Manila today.

09:05This is the news brought to you by James Agustin and Bam Alegre.

09:12Their goal is to move from Casimiro, Las Piñas, just like the unification of their country.

09:17They will march to Rino Granstown for the translation.

09:21This is part of their annual prayer.

09:24This is for my children and my family, so that they will lose their feelings.

09:30From 8th Avenue in Caloocan, Sinaloes de Los Santos, and the believers from San Roque Cathedral.

09:36They are all tired, but they feel a different kind of strength while they are walking down MacArthur Bridge.

09:42It's an epidemic, sir.

09:44I hope that our epidemics will end soon.

09:49Anna-Lisa Zapata also took part in a picnic on a bench while waiting for her family.

09:54Their children are also excited because they believe that family bonding is important in the procession of Jesus Nazareno.

10:01What is our strength in the family?

10:05Lucas and Luisa are from Makati City.

10:08They have been devotees of Jesus Nazareno for almost four decades.

10:11They were still in line at 4 p.m. for the translation to Rino Granstown.

10:16Last night, they were still at the end of the line in South Road.

10:19This is just a small sacrifice for their faith.

10:23As long as I live, I will add to my life.

10:26This is my prayer to my grandchildren, especially to my wife.

10:31This is a double sacrifice,

10:33because of the feast of St. Nazareno, which is the 58th day of St. Luisa's Day.

10:39We are thankful because God gave us a long life, including my children and grandchildren.

10:46Because of the long line,

10:49devotees who are in line cannot avoid receiving medical tips quickly,

10:54like Sonia, who was also in line for hours.

10:57At the age of 18, her faith deepened after she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May of last year.

11:06I am thankful that I was able to add to my life again.

11:13That is why I want to go back there.

11:16The other devotees have their own beds and tents,

11:20like the family of Ms. Liliana from Las Piñas.

11:23She is with her four children and grandchildren.

11:26This is part of the next generation's devotion to St. Nazareno.

11:31For the salvation of my children and grandchildren,

11:34and also my grandchildren.

11:36This is important to me.

11:38Just like I am a single parent, I need someone to guide me.

11:44Ms. Armando and her children traveled from Dasmariñas, Cavite.

11:50They say this day is special because she also dedicated her day.

11:54I will try my best to join the water.

11:57Because I am already 60 years old.

12:00I am still strong, sir.

12:03I am with my whole family, my siblings, my grandchildren.

12:09Just give me strength while I am still alive.

12:13James Agustin.

12:14Bam Alegre.

12:15Reporting for GMA Integrated News.

12:20We are still live here at Minor Basilica National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno,

12:24or Capo Church, where the weather is getting hotter.

12:27But there are still a lot of people coming to participate in the translation.

12:31Right now, they are still talking.

12:34For a long time, Quezon Boulevard has been closed to vehicular traffic.

12:37This is where the activity of the devotees who are waiting for the procession.

12:41This year, the authorities placed a barrier for those who are walking towards the Capo Church

12:47and those who are walking away from the church to be separated.

12:50This is where the thousands of devotees meet.

12:55But there are also some things that are not followed.

12:57Because of the high number of emergency cases,

12:59the emergency lane was opened for the authorities to make sure that

13:02if they were to run to the emergency tents,

13:04they would not be caught by the thousands of devotees who are walking

13:08and they would be able to get out of the area quickly.

13:12The authorities will allow the devotees to ride in LRT Line 1 and Line 2

13:18of Jesus Nazareno on the day of Pista.

13:21This is based on the announcement of Light Rail Manila Corporation

13:26and Light Rail Transit Authority.

13:28According to LRMC, the operation of LRT 1 is now regular

13:34and it started at 4.30 in the morning.

13:38The LRTA also reminds that the No Inspection No Entry Policy will still be implemented in LRT 2.

13:49This is GMA Regional TV News.

13:54We have news in Luzon from GMA Regional TV.

13:58The devotion to Jesus Nazareno in some provinces is also felt.

14:02Chris, what is the activity for the Pista of Nazareno there, particularly in Bataan?

14:07Connie, just like in Manila,

14:09the Pista of Nazareno is also held in different corners of the country, just like in Bataan.

14:14In a church in Balanga, their replica of Jesus Nazareno was also released yesterday.

14:19Devotees are lining up for their worship of the traditional kiss called Pagpupugay.

14:26Some of the devotees are even waving flags in the image of Jesus Nazareno.

14:34In other news, a grandmother in Florida, Blanca, Pampanga, was found dead.

14:39The suspect who was drinking alcohol committed the crime.

14:43We have more hot news brought to you by Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.

14:50The grandmother's body was found black inside her room in Florida, Blanca, Pampanga.

14:57According to the police, the 84-year-old Bedridden was killed in a car accident.

15:02Before that, he was kidnapped by a male suspect in Cahinalay.

15:06While he was kidnapping the suspect, the victim was lying down and he committed the crime.

15:13Based on the investigation, the suspect entered the house after he fell from the balcony.

15:18And because he used to work for the victim's family, he was familiar with the surroundings of the house.

15:23The suspect was given two cellphones and a wallet with cash.

15:27During those days, he was drinking and using illegal drugs.

15:34He was the one who was kidnapped.

15:38The suspect denied that he was using drugs but admitted that he was drinking.

15:42The suspect is now in jail.

15:49He is facing robbery and rape with homicide.

15:55The tricycle that was driving on the road in Barangay Salvation in Santo Tomas, Pangasinan,

16:00was followed by a motorcycle that was running fast until it hit the back of the tricycle.

16:06The motorcycle went to the other lane.

16:08Just in time, a minivan arrived that also hit the tricycle.

16:12The wife of the tricycle driver was at home.

16:14She was severely injured in various parts of her body.

16:18The driver of the motorcycle and the drivers of the minivan suffered minor injuries.

16:23The family of the victim did not want to file a case.

16:28We were given an affidavit of desistance.

16:31We have nothing to do but to accept it and to be notarized.

16:35The tricycle of the wife was found in their house in Alcala.

16:39The family of the victims also refused to give their affidavit.

16:44The two men in Agoncillo, Batangas were found dead in a house in Cubo.

16:49The bodies of the two men were hit by bullets by the authorities.

16:53A 45-caliber gun and a cellphone were found in the crime scene.

16:57An abandoned vehicle was also found near the crime scene.

17:00Three suspects were caught in the follow-up operation.

17:03The alleged source of the crime was a loan between one of the victims and one of the suspects.

17:09They are facing severe complaints.

17:11Jasmine Gabriel Galvan, GMA Regional TV, reporting for GMA Integrated News.

17:22The green bones fever is going to the Hollywood.

17:26The 50th MMFF Best Picture will also be watched at the 2025 Manila International Film Festival in America.

17:34From January 30 to February 2 at TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, California.

17:41The stars of Green Bones, MMFF Best Actor Dennis Trillo and Best Supporting Actor Ruru Madrid are getting ready for the screening.

17:51Aside from Green Bones and other entries in the 2024 MMFF,

17:56there are also 18 Filipino films that will be screened at MIFF, Hello Love Again.

18:06We will bring these films of Metro Manila Film Fest to Hollywood.

18:11Hello Love Again will also be screened at the Manila International Film Fest.

18:16Since Green Bones won our Best Picture at MMFF, this is one of the highlights.

18:23It will not happen, but to all the viewers, supporters, and those who believed in the project, we owe it to all of you.

18:30Thank you to everyone who went to the cinema and spent money to watch our film.

18:37I can't wait for them to watch the Green Bones film.

18:42The actress-comedian Rufa May Quinto went to the Pasay Regional Trial Court earlier this morning to ask for bail.

18:50That was after she spent the night at the National Bureau of Investigation,

18:54following her testimony yesterday regarding the case she was charged with as an endorser of a skin care company.

19:01This is the story of John Consulta.

19:06Hi, welcome to me in the Philippines.

19:09Yes, I surrender myself.

19:13After Rufa May Quinto's flight from San Francisco, California to the US,

19:18she was escorted by the people of the National Bureau of Investigation along with her lawyer.

19:23From Naia to Pasay, they went straight to the head office of the NBI to give their testimony.

19:28How are you ma'am? How are you?

19:30I'm okay. I'm a bit tired because I'm from the US.

19:36After visiting the NBI Director Jaime Santiago, the documents were processed before his trial.

19:41We are also victims. That's why we will face everything. Go, go, go.

19:45It's not good because my reputation is being ruined here.

19:49That's why I'm facing it to clear my name.

19:53Actually, they should be looking for an owner.

19:57I have nothing to do with them. I didn't meet them.

20:02In fact, I didn't pay them. They all bounced.

20:07According to Rufa May, she was also picked up by Dermacare to get an endorser.

20:12When they signed me, I was the first to fly and the second to fly.

20:17They all bounced and said sorry. They also cancelled me as an endorser.

20:21Presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

20:24That's why we are giving her assistance.

20:29I told my agents to help her and assist her.

20:35We will not be tied by anyone.

20:40From the NBI in Pasay, the group of actresses went to the Pasay Hall of Justice to ask for an endorser.

20:46We were posting bail. We were almost done.

20:49Rufa May came to my mind and her blood pressure went up.

20:54Probably due to stress or jet lag.

20:57But I think it's stress. We will continue the bail process first thing in the morning.

21:02In December of last year, her lawyer confirmed the warrant of arrest of Pasay RTC against Rufa May

21:09in the case of violation of the Securities Regulation Code.

21:12She was found guilty of being an endorser of Dermacare.

21:14She was found guilty of selling and allocating securities in the Philippines without a warrant from the SEC.

21:20The GMA Integrated News is trying to get a copy of Dermacare about this.

21:24According to the actress, she should not be judged.

21:27Listen to the whole story before you believe it.

21:30I hope you will highlight who is the culprit here.

21:35If it's not the corporate artist, you are the one who is always on the news.

21:40It should be clear that it's not just me.

21:45It's not the owner who should be chased.

21:49In the case of Dermacare, the actress and businesswoman, Nery Naig Miranda,

21:54is the wife of Edgar Frontman Chito Miranda.

21:57Nery was arrested but was released after the court canceled the warrant against her.

22:02Nery was not informed about the preliminary investigation of the Office of the City Prosecutor of Pasay.

22:08John Consulta reporting for GMA Integrated News.

22:15Rufa May Quinto, the fiancée, filed her case this morning in Pasay, RTC

22:19for 14 counts of violation of the Securities Regulation Code.

22:24In a short interview with the media, the actress thanked the supporters and did not forget to joke.

22:34Hi, how are you?

22:35How are you?

22:36I'm good. This is it. Thank you for joining.

22:44Long live the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

22:48Along with the increase of deaths in Nazareno,

22:51the number of people who were injured in the First Aid Stations is also increasing.

22:56We have on the spot, Ian Cruz. Ian?

23:00Yes, Connie.

23:01More than 200 people were injured by the Philippine Red Cross in their various First Aid Stations.

23:08Because of the injuries, some had fractures and others had severe medical conditions.

23:14In the Emergency Field Hospital of the Red Cross in Cartilia, Katipunan,

23:1817 patients were treated but the number of devotees who were injured and unable to breathe is still increasing.

23:27J. Lord Abrigado, the head of safety services of the Philippine Red Cross, said

23:31two medical cases have been transferred to regular hospitals.

23:36Next to the Manila Field Hospital, which is run by the Philippine General Hospital,

23:40Dr. Patrick Tiglao, the head of the field hospital, said

23:44that of the 20 patients who were brought in, two were transferred to the hospital

23:48because of a possible fracture in the bicep and one in the clavicle.

23:52Half of the people who were seen by the PJs, due to muscular or skeletal complaints,

23:58the number of cases in Orosa, Andaz, surged until 6 in the morning.

24:04And, Connie, earlier this morning, the Andar of Andaz was fast.

24:09It only took a minute to pass in front of the MPD Station near the Manila Hotel.

24:16Despite the change in the design, many still tried to cross Andaz,

24:20especially in the back where the cross of Jesus Nazareno is inscribed.

24:25There is also a point where there is a moist of Andaz which was immediately wiped by Ijos del Nazareno.

24:32In the procession, Connie, we met different devotees.

24:35There is an old man who is not young anymore, but his prayer continues.

24:39There is a parent who is still with the child who is wearing a stroller,

24:43so that he can write in the prayer as soon as possible.

24:46And there is a PWD with a broken leg, but it should not weaken the inside in his prayer.

24:52Connie, the route of the translation is still a long way to go.

24:57That is why the medical personnel who are scattered in different places are really alert

25:02because they are expecting that there are still people who will be injured

25:06and it is possible that there will be a medical condition until the afternoon or until the evening

25:11when the entire Jesus Nazareno can be brought to Chiapuchos.

25:16That is the latest from the Quirino Grandstand.

25:18Back to you, Connie.

25:19Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.

25:28We are still live here in Chiapuchos, the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno.

25:33The weather is still clear.

25:35There is a bit of rain, but it is a bit clear.

25:38So, for those who will come here to bring an umbrella in the rain,

25:42it is better to bring a transparent capote.

25:45What you are about to watch is a live video taken here on the road in front or on the side of Chiapuchos

25:51where there are already a lot of people.

25:53We also have a video taken here inside the church

25:56where the mass is still going on here in Chiapuchos.

26:07This is the GMA Regional TV News.

26:12For Visayas and Mindanao news, this is GMA Regional TV.

26:17For Visayas and Mindanao news, this is GMA Regional TV.

26:21In Cagayan de Oro City, two minorities have already fallen on the side of the road.

26:28Sarah, what happened?

26:32Connie, in the middle of the children's ramble,

26:35two of them fell on the side of the road.

26:38One of them was caught by the enemy.

26:43That and other hot news brought to you by James Paulo Yap of GMA Regional TV.

26:51In this cellphone video,

26:53you can see the ramble of a group of minorities in Cagayan de Oro City.

26:57Later, you will see a man who is not wearing an umbrella

27:01and pushed another man in white until he fell on the side of the road.

27:07After that, the uploader of the video ran to the scene

27:10and there he saw the man who fell on the side of the road.

27:12When they were looking for the missing cellphone of the alleged man,

27:16they found out that there was another man who also fell on the side of the road

27:20and was not only caught by the camera.

27:23According to Cagayan de Oro City Police, the ramble was immediately responded.

27:27These two minorities who are also pushing their stepmother,

27:33they were also caught and attacked by a group of minorities.

27:40According to the police, they recognized the group of people who fell on the side of the road

27:44and fell on two minorities.

27:46The family of the men who were pushed also did not complain.

27:49The police tightened the police visibility in the area.

27:53The Police Station 3, the personnel of the police station,

27:56asked them to stay inside so that they can solve the problem.

28:02A large snake was discovered in Quizame by a store in Tagbilaran, Bohol.

28:07The store first noticed that someone was moving around in Quizame.

28:10And when they searched, they found the tail of the snake.

28:15The Bureau of Fire Protection immediately responded to get the snake.

28:19Because of its size, the part of Quizame needs to be opened to get the snake.

28:29Authorities are reminding that in this case,

28:32it is better to ask for help immediately to avoid getting caught.

28:36James Paulo Yap of GMA Regional TV is reporting for GMA Integrated News.

28:43The procession of Jesus Nazareno was also held in several places in Mindanao,

28:48like in Cagayan de Oro City and here in Davao City.

28:52Sairil Chavez of GMA Regional TV has an update on the spot.

28:56Sairil?

29:00Sarah, the procession of Jesus Nazareno was held here in Cagayan de Oro City

29:07and also in Davao City,

29:09where thousands of devotees came to Cagayan de Oro City to attend the feast of the Lord.

29:17At 5 o'clock in the morning, the image of Jesus Nazareno was taken out of St. Augustine Metropolitan Cathedral

29:24as a sign of the start of the 2025 translation to Cagayan de Oro City.

29:29The procession of Jesus Nazareno immediately moved forward where the image was taken

29:33and passed through Fernandez Street and turned to Velez Street,

29:36which is one of the main streets of the city.

29:38Thousands of devotees came and showed their devotion to the image.

29:43Other devotees even brought their replicas of the image,

29:48along with the intimate prayer.

29:50There were those who asked for a good health and life.

29:54There were also those who thanked for the blessings they received.

29:58More than 13,000 devotees came from various places in Mindanao.

30:04At 7 o'clock in the morning,

30:06the image of Jesus Nazareno Parish, Archdiocesan Shrine of the Black Nazarene,

30:13was immediately brought in as a sign of the completion of the translation.

30:16According to the PNP, the translation was successful this year

30:20and the public cooperation was a great help.

30:23According to the City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Department of the LGU,

30:27no devotees were harmed or affected by the translation.

30:33Aside from one devotee who was examined,

30:35he passed by the side of the road while the procession was taking place.

30:40Meanwhile, in Davao City,

30:42at 4 o'clock in the early morning,

30:45the translation of the image of Jesus Nazareno Parish

30:48from the Black Nazarene Chapel in New Lanzona, Matina,

30:51which is surrounded by the San Pablo Parish in Davao City,

30:54was started.

30:55From the chapel, the image of the main streets of Barangay Matina Aplaya

31:01and Barangay Matina Crossing.

31:02As the procession went on, the number of devotees was increasing.

31:07The images of Jesus Nazareno Parish and the candles were lit

31:13while the prayer was being held.

31:16The translation lasted for two hours

31:19and at 6.30 in the morning, the image was brought back to the Black Nazarene Chapel.

31:26For now, the mass is being held here at Jesus Nazareno Parish,

31:31Shrine of the Black Nazarene here in Cagayan de Oro City.

31:34According to the authorities,

31:35they are continuously ensuring the safety inside and outside the church,

31:39especially that the translation of the images is still ongoing.

31:47Thank you very much, Cyril Chavez of GMA Regional TV.

31:51The increase of the number of devotees in Jesus Nazareno Parish is still ongoing.

31:55And now, we will talk to Rev. Fr. Robert Arellano,

31:59Parochial Vicar of the Church and Spokesperson of Nazareno 2025.

32:04Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

32:06Good morning to all of you and good morning to all of our viewers.

32:12For now, what do you think is the current trend?

32:16For now, what do you think is the current trend?

32:19Because earlier this morning, they said it was fast.

32:21But now, where is the current trend?

32:24This year, we are really experiencing things that are slow and fast.

32:30That is why we always say that it is too early to predict

32:34whether it will be fast or slow or the return of our beloved Jesus Nazareno.

32:41Because at some point, we do not know how people will pour out.

32:45Because sometimes, there are people pouring out into this particular area.

32:49Sometimes, they are pouring out in other areas.

32:52So now, we do not have a specific estimate.

32:56But what we can see is that it is normal for things to be fast and slow.

33:03Maybe later this afternoon, when they are near the area of Quiapo,

33:09we will know if it will be fast or slow.

33:12Sometimes, we are just within the area and we still have time.

33:16So, we cannot say right away.

33:19But is there already an effect on the changes that were made, on the trend itself?

33:23Are there fewer people pouring out compared to the past years?

33:25Yes, our changes are already big.

33:28Just like what happened last year, we were able to predict the fastest procession.

33:36Because last year, we also had a new trend

33:39where the beloved Jesus Nazareno was placed with a glass enclosure.

33:44So, the changes that were made and the continuation of this year,

33:48there is a big effect on the speed of the processions that are taking place.

33:54And ma'am, when the time comes, will the devotees still be allowed to enter

33:58once Jesus Nazareno has entered the Church?

34:01Generally, what happens is that because there are millions of people in the procession,

34:06especially in front and behind the beloved Jesus Nazareno,

34:10when the procession enters the Church,

34:13our gate is temporarily closed

34:16because we will not be able to accommodate the number of people who can enter the Church.

34:22That is why, we have police officers,

34:24the Ijos de Nazareno, who are in front of our Church to barricade

34:30to prevent other people from entering.

34:34Because if this is only open, all people will be forced to enter.

34:39And since the space of our Church is limited, we cannot accommodate all of them.

34:45So, we will wait for it to open before the devotees can enter.

34:49What will happen is, there will be people barricaded.

34:52When the procession enters, the gate will be closed.

34:55Once the situation is normal, the procession will pray

34:59and the Church will open again.

35:01Because this is also the entry point for all of our Masses.

35:05Now, this is a national feast.

35:07Does the Church of the Church Of Christ also participate in other translations in other places in the country?

35:13Actually, our celebrations are independent.

35:18If you have questions about different parts of the Philippines, they can pray.

35:24What is common here is the liturgy.

35:28The liturgy is used for the glory of our beloved Jesus of Nazarene.

35:33But the works are dependent on them,

35:35depending on the parish priests, the bishops, and the vicar friars that they invite.

35:42Although it is unpredictable how long this translation will last this year,

35:46but the number is increasing every year.

35:48Is that what we are expecting now?

35:51Because it is still early,

35:53so far, what we can give is our estimate as of this point in time.

35:59But this is not final yet because there are still people who are considering it.

36:03Earlier, the last data that we gave to Ms. Marice is 89,000 or 86,000,

36:10but now we are at 163,000 who went to the Church Of Christ of Capo

36:16since it was opened on the 3rd of the afternoon.

36:19In our Kirino Grandstand, we have planned 1.5 million as crowd estimate.

36:25But there are still a lot of people who are considering it.

36:28We will give the final data in the next few hours.

36:31Usually, 1.5 million in Kirino is already chasing, isn't it?

36:34They are still going and following this procession.

36:37Lastly, again, this translation is still long.

36:40Will the Church call for the devotees who are still waiting for their turn?

36:46We do not have any other call

36:48if we will not have a safe, proper, and holy procession.

36:53That is why we continue to call for the prohibition of worshiping idols

36:59because this will slow down the procession

37:01and we will not be given the opportunity to see other people waiting for the procession.

37:07We also ask everyone,

37:10the most important thing here is that the devotions we are doing will have an effect on our lives.

37:16May our devotions strengthen our faith

37:21so that we will love God and our fellowmen more

37:24and so that our lives will be better and our fellowmen and devotees will be safe.

37:30Thank you very much for your time this afternoon.

37:35Parochial Vicar of Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno

37:38and Nazareno 2025 Spokesperson,

37:40Rev. Fr. Robert Arrellano.

37:47This is the GMA Regional TV News.

37:51Thousands of devotions of St. Tonino

37:54are part of the traditional Penitential Walk with Jesus in Cebu City.

37:59Activities will be held at the Sinulog Festival.

38:02On the spot, Femarie Dumabok of GMA Regional TV.

38:12Sarah, thousands of devotions of St. Tonino in Cebu City

38:16did not stop in the rain

38:18to join in the Penitential Walk with Jesus earlier this morning.

38:23Even though there was heavy rain earlier this morning,

38:27devotions came to the Assembly Area in Fuente Osmeña Circle.

38:32The annual Walk with Jesus is the sign of the beginning

38:36of the Ninety-Nine for the 460th Fiesta Señor.

38:40Whether they are young or old,

38:42most of them have a vivid image of St. Tonino and Candela.

38:47At 4.20 a.m., the procession began.

38:50After more than an hour,

38:52the image of St. Tonino arrived in the carriage

38:56at the Basilica Minor del San Tonino de Cebu.

38:59The carriage did not fall down at the Pilgrim Center

39:02because of the large number of devotees.

39:04When the carriage arrived,

39:06the first Mass was immediately started,

39:08led by Rev. Fr. Andres Rivera, Jr., OSA,

39:12the Rector of the Basilica Minor del San Tonino.

39:16Because the maximum capacity of the compound of the Church

39:19is only 5,000,

39:21many devotees were not able to enter

39:23but were forced to stay outside the Church

39:26to be able to attend the Mass.

39:28Around the Basilica,

39:29an LED wall was built to see what was happening inside the Pilgrim Center

39:34to ensure the safety and security of the devotees

39:38who were deployed to attend the Mass.

39:41To ensure the safety and security of the devotees,

39:44the police deployed BFP, EFP, and force multipliers

39:48inside and outside the Church.

39:50There were also medical stations and personnel

39:53around and inside the compound of the Basilica.

39:57Almost every hour,

39:59the Novenario Mass is held until 7 p.m. on Saturday.

40:04On the next Friday, January 17,

40:07Ms. Punwok Widmeri will do a translation

40:11and will speak on the Flovial Procession on Saturday, January 18.

40:15And on January 19,

40:17the first Sinulog Grand Parade will be held.

40:21Viva PIT, Senor!

40:22Sara?

40:23And Femarie Dumabok of GMA Regional TV.

40:31The World Health Organization assured

40:33that there is no different outbreak pattern

40:35in respiratory infections in China.

40:37According to the WHO,

40:38the number of acute respiratory infections in China

40:42increases every winter season.

40:44The Department of Health also said

40:46that no one should be concerned

40:48about the spreading of international health concerns on social media.

40:53According to the DOH,

40:54the number of influenza-like illnesses in the country was lower in December

40:58compared to the number in 2023.

41:01Health experts will continue to remind people

41:04to stay at home if you have an illness

41:07to avoid getting infected.

41:19Because of the fire,

41:21only a handful of people lived in that house in California, America.

41:25Including the hundreds of houses and houses that were hit by the wildfire there.

41:30It started on Tuesday

41:32and spread to thousands of hectares of land.

41:35It was difficult to control the wildfire

41:38because the water of the firefighters in some places was insufficient.

41:41Not less than two were at home.

41:43More than 100,000 residents had to evacuate.

41:48Long live Jesus!

41:50Long live Jesus!

41:52Long live Jesus!

41:54Long live Jesus!

41:56The arrival of devotees who want to go to church

41:59in the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno

42:02is still ongoing.

42:04And there are still a lot of prohibited items

42:08brought inside the church.

42:11We have a reporter on the spot, Mariz.

42:13Mariz?

42:15Connie, just after the 21st Fiesta Mass

42:19here in Quiapo Church,

42:20as you can see behind me,

42:22the mass is still going on.

42:24After the mass,

42:26the devotees who attended the Mass

42:29continue to attend the Mass.

42:31Most of the devotees we see here in Plaza Miranda

42:36will attend the next Mass

42:39and will enter the Church

42:40for the 22nd Fiesta Mass.

42:43There are 33 Fiesta Mass,

42:45all of which are Masses.

42:47This is the 25th Fiesta Mass of Jesus Nazareno

42:51from 3 p.m. yesterday

42:53for the 33 years of Jesus in the world.

42:5732 Masses are being held here in Quiapo Church

43:01and the other one is in Quirino Grandstand

43:03where the Major Mass was held.

43:05As you said,

43:06the number of devotees here in Quiapo

43:08as of 9 a.m.,

43:1025,750 devotees came

43:14and attended the Mass here

43:16according to the Nazareno Operations Center

43:18just today.

43:19Father Robert mentioned earlier

43:21that it was since 3 p.m. yesterday.

43:24But the number is increasing

43:25because the number of devotees is not stopping.

43:28The Church is full

43:29and there are still people standing here

43:31in Plaza Miranda.

43:32Those who are here

43:33did not join the translation.

43:36Their faith will be weakened

43:38if they will not join the procession.

43:40We talked earlier

43:42from Lucban, Quezon.

43:43There are also people from Samar.

43:45But they really traveled

43:46to attend the Mass

43:48this Fiesta of Quiapo

43:50here in Quiapo Church.

43:51There are a lot of people

43:53who died

43:55immediately after receiving the first aid.

43:58Every time you enter the Church of Quiapo,

44:01you can only pass through Villalobos Street

44:04and you need to use a mobile scan trailer

44:07and walk-through metal detector.

44:09There are a lot of prohibited items

44:12in the Church

44:13such as stolen things,

44:15scissors,

44:16rope,

44:17and a lot of lighters.

44:19So if you don't want to get caught,

44:20and you might not be able to get it back,

44:22don't bring it

44:23if you will go here to Quiapo Church.

44:25Even though it is sunny today

44:27and earlier it was a bit cloudy,

44:29the devotees did not stop

44:31and the theme and message of Nazareno 2025

44:35is that it is better to obey

44:37than to give up to those who depend on Jesus.

44:39It is better to obey without complaint,

44:41with all humbleness and piety.

44:44And that is the last situation here.

44:47In a while,

44:48the 22nd Fiesta Mass

44:51will start here in Quiapo Church.

44:53That is the latest news

44:54from Quiapo Church.

44:55Back to you, Connie.

44:56Thank you very much, Mariz Umali.

44:59Manila Mayor, Honey Lacuna,

45:01suggested the former garbage collector of Lungsod,

45:04Leonel Waste Management Corporation.

45:07Again, the Mayor insisted that

45:09Leonel abandoned their obligation

45:12to carry garbage since December 30,

45:15according to the rules of the barangay.

45:18This is even until December 31,

45:20their contract.

45:22First, it was denied by Leonel.

45:24Until tomorrow, January 10,

45:26the deadline given by the Mayor

45:28to the newly hired garbage collectors

45:30to carry all the piled up garbage

45:34in Lungsod.

45:35As for the payment,

45:37Honey Lacuna clarified that

45:38the Manila LGU in Leonel

45:41did not owe P561 million.

45:44The process of disbursement

45:46or the issuance of money

45:48to pay the company is ongoing.

45:50The Mayor also said

45:51that the money was already paid

45:53in the first four months of 2024

45:56and there is already a fund for May and June.

45:59However, this is not a debt,

46:02but due and demandable,

46:04as stated in their signed contract.

46:07Leonel still has no answer

46:09to the additions that the Mayor said

46:11about the payments.

46:16Meanwhile, let's watch out for the volcano.

46:18The Abo volcano erupted three times

46:20yesterday afternoon.

46:22According to Fivox,

46:23those erupted for a few minutes

46:25and for almost two hours.

46:38These are indications of

46:40a magmatic unrest

46:41or a remain in alert level 3

46:43of Canlaon.

46:44The Office of Civil Defense prepared

46:46six residents there

46:48because it is possible

46:49that the volcano will erupt again.

46:51The Negros Occidental Provincial Government

46:54is looking for a long-term solution

46:56to the permanent relocation

46:58of the residents

46:59in the 4-kilometer permanent danger zone

47:01of Canlaon.

47:04And this is the latest news.

47:06We are part of a bigger mission.

47:08I am Connie Sison.
