00:00How is the situation in the Quirino Grandstand for the preparation of the wedding?
00:05Live from Manila, we have on the spot Ian Cruz.
00:13Yes, Rafi, the local government, police and churches are preparing for the wedding for three days before the translation of the whole Jesus Nazareno.
00:24Rafi, it is expected that the wedding will start tomorrow here in the Quirino Grandstand.
00:30That is why, just now, the 30 tents of the MMDA are already placed near the Quirino Grandstand.
00:38This is where the devotees will pass for the traditional wedding,
00:42where they can kiss, hold or wipe the bride and groom's image.
00:48The MMDA also has plastic barriers up to the cross boulevard for people to line up for the wedding.
00:56Usually, the line is long, that is why, aside from the members of the MMDA, there is security placed by the police.
01:03Full force, the local government of Manila, in cleaning the Quirino Grandstand this morning,
01:08is making sure that there is no mess in every corner.
01:11Later at 6 p.m., a mass will be held for the volunteers.
01:15This afternoon, it is expected that the high-ranking officials of the PNP will arrive here at the Quirino Grandstand
01:21to send off the 12,000 policemen who will be deployed for the translation of the whole Nazareno.
01:27The additional force will be more than 2,000 from the soldiers, Coast Guard, BFP and Jail Guard.
01:33Rafi, we are here at the entablado of the Quirino Grandstand.
01:37We can see that in this part, it is expected that the image of the black Nazareno will be placed.
01:44Rafi Karaniwan, in the wedding, of course, they will pierce that part.
01:48It is just a small part.
01:50The officers told us earlier that only the cross can be removed.
01:58So that here in the other hole, here is the part where the wedding will be held,
02:09where the devotees will be held and wiped.
02:13Rafi, this road goes all the way to Calao and to the corner of Rojas Boulevard.
02:21And of course, after their wedding here, the devotees will go straight down here
02:27until they can go down to Katigbak Drive.
02:31And of course, there are a lot of policemen and other force multipliers there.
02:38So Rafi, last year, 6 million people were translated by Jesus Nazareno.
02:45That is why the vigilance of the PNP and other security agencies continued
02:50even though there was no specific threat mentioned by the PNP.
02:54That is the latest from Manila.
02:56Back to you, Rafi.
02:57Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
