00:00Good morning and welcome to the news this afternoon.
00:12Good morning, Rafi.
00:16Yes, tomorrow is Tuesday and on Thursday is the translation.
00:20How ready is the police when it comes to the security of Jesus Nazareno?
00:25Rafi, the NCRPO is ready for the security coverage to ensure the safety and security of Nazareno in 2025.
00:34More than 12,000 policemen will be distributed and more than 2,000 from other government agencies.
00:41That will be more than 14,000 personnel.
00:44We will add more policemen depending on the situation.
00:48Our Acting Regional Director, Police Brigadier General Anthony A. Aberin will be on the ground
00:54to ensure the proper deployment and the condition of the police and devotees.
00:59Are we monitoring a security threat?
01:02Because in other countries, particularly in America, cars are used for terrorism.
01:08Do we have such information here?
01:11As of now, we are not monitoring any security threat here in Metro Manila.
01:17However, your government will remain alert and ready to respond to any time and situation, Rafi.
01:24But are you looking at the use of cars as a terror vehicle?
01:31Because in America, that's how it's used.
01:34Yes, Rafi. Cars are included.
01:37Cars are also prohibited inside the procession on January 9.
01:45How many crowd estimates do you have on the day of the feast?
01:49Last year, Rafi, there were 6.5 million devotees in the procession.
01:55We expect that there will be more on January 9,
02:00which will include the 5.8-kilometer procession from Quirinogranstan to Quiapo Church, Rafi.
02:06Okay.
02:07What is your message or reminder to those who will attend the feast?
02:10I understand that the cross is prohibited and the items should be transparent so that it can be easily seen in the security check.
02:16It's up to you to give a reminder.
02:19Rafi, on behalf of our acting regional director,
02:24we are asking for the cooperation of the devotees.
02:27We hope that they will follow the rules set by the Church and the police
02:32so that the procession on January 9 will be successful and proper.
02:37We are continuously coordinating with the Quiapo Church Administration
02:42so that it can be safe, peaceful, and properly held in Reno in 2025.
02:47Okay. Thank you for the information you shared in the latest news.
02:52Thank you, Rafi.
02:53This is Police Major Myrna Diploma, OIC of the Regional Public Information Office of the NCRPO.
