00:00We will update you on the overall assessment of the translation of 2025 that reached more than 20 hours in the middle of a few days and we will talk about it.
00:08We will talk to Manila Police District Director, Police Brigadier General Tomas Ibai. Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:15Good morning also sir Raffy and to everyone who is monitoring and listening to Balitang Hali.
00:22What is your assessment on the translation of 2025?
00:26Yes sir, it is generally peaceful. We consider it generally peaceful and there were no major incidents that happened yesterday.
00:33Except for the perennial problem or incidents that we record when it comes to the injured.
00:42Because of the nature of the procession where our fellow countrymen are barefooted who are joining here.
00:51The police barricade in Ayala Bridge was destroyed yesterday. What really happened there?
00:57Well that's true. We were stopping those who joined us. We were requesting them to stay put.
01:06We were waiting for them to arrive. That's why they insisted and they forced our fellow countrymen to stay put.
01:15They became strong but eventually we managed to talk to them and they just insisted.
01:23There were still assigned posts that were removed. How will we protect these items for the next translations?
01:38What we are talking about in the Church is the education of our members or our devotees.
01:47Yearly, they need to be advised on what should be the actuation when it comes to translation.
01:56Because some are asking for emotion. We are not questioning their devotion.
02:05But we need to educate them on what is the right thing to do for the Church to be holy.
02:13When it comes to the number of injured and untoward incidents, is it less or more for this year?
02:20I think the numbers are almost the same.
02:25If it's usual, there will be injuries due to puncture wounds, there will be scratches due to pus.
02:35That's why we cannot avoid this every year.
02:38There are still those who need to be checked up because their blood pressure is increasing.
02:42It's not just our devotees who are experiencing this.
02:47Our policemen are also being checked up because understandably,
02:51because we are on duty for more than 24 hours, we are just resting in our locations.
03:01It's inevitable that there will be pus because we can see it.
03:06You are a witness on how the translation or the procession goes.
03:10There are 8 million transgressions this year and it's increasing if we talk about the trend.
03:17What are our expectations for the next transgressions and how can we control this large crowd if there are more transgressions?
03:26Every year, we are preparing. The police and the Church are preparing when it comes to translation.
03:35After this, we are setting a debriefing and critiquing meeting with them so we can talk about what will happen next,
03:47what are the preparations for the next year.
03:50We can see that this kind of procession was stopped during the pandemic.
03:56But as long as there's no such situation, this is how we will see the procession in the coming January or next year.
04:09The best thing here is the continuous education of our countrymen, devotees and new converts to the position
04:23and what should be done to improve the situation.
04:26We should reduce the number of troubles because it's up to them to improve the situation.
04:33Although we have the police and soldiers, it's up to the devotees to improve the situation.
04:44Of course, you are vastly outnumbered.
04:47I have a different question. How is the Manila Police District preparing?
04:52The Nationwide Ganban is also starting its election period this Sunday.
04:57Yes sir. We have the meeting already with the Manila Police Department.
05:02We talked about the 12 o'clock midnight of January 11 or the 12 o'clock.
05:13We will be simultaneously deploying our personnel for the law enforcement checkpoints.
05:19We also discussed that we will be training our personnel.
05:25They will have lectures, particularly to the election laws that we will be implementing.
05:33So that our policemen know the right process to implement this.
05:40Thank you very much for the time you shared in the news this afternoon.
05:43Thank you very much for the opportunity.
05:46Manila Police District Director, Police Brigadier General Thomas Ibai.
