00:00Beautiful Jesus Nazareno, Viva!
00:14The devotees are very devout in their participation in the procession of the whole of Jesus Nazareno,
00:20including their family members who have been praying for a long time.
00:25Live from the Quirino Grandstand, we have James Agustin. James?
00:32Susan, good morning.
00:33The devotees did not miss the long queue for the procession of the whole of Jesus Nazareno.
00:39It is here in the Quirino Grandstand.
00:41Although the places they came from are different, their prayers are different,
00:45but their devotion is one.
00:48From Makati City, Lucas and Luisa, who have been devoted to Jesus Nazareno for almost four decades,
00:55they were still in line at 4 in the afternoon for the procession of the Quirino Grandstand.
01:00It was already midnight and they were still at the end of the line in South Road.
01:03This is just a small sacrifice for their faith.
01:07While I am alive, my life is added.
01:10That is my only prayer.
01:12That is my only prayer to my grandchildren, especially to my wife.
01:17The procession of the whole of Jesus Nazareno,
01:20which is the 58th day of the day of Our Lady Luisa, is twice as long.
01:24We are thankful because God gave us a long life, my children and my grandchildren.
01:32Because of the long line and long line, the devotees who were in line could not avoid
01:37quickly receiving medical tips, just like Sonia, who was also in line for hours.
01:43At the age of 18, her faith deepened after she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May of last year.
01:52I am thankful that my life is added again.
01:59That is why I want to go back there.
02:02The other devotees were able to rest in their respective areas,
02:05and some of them were able to build tents, just like the family of Ms. Liliana from Las Pinas.
02:10She is with her four children and grandchildren.
02:12This is already part of the passing on to the next generation of devotion to the whole of Nazareno.
02:17For the salvation of my children and grandchildren, including my grandchildren,
02:23it is important to me.
02:25Just like I am a solo parent, they need to be guided.
02:29The senior citizen, Mr. Armando, and his children traveled from Dasmariñas, Cavite.
02:35They say this is a special day because he dedicated his day to it.
02:39I will try my best to join the water.
02:42I am already 60 years old.
02:45I am still strong, sir.
02:47I am still in line.
02:50My whole family, my siblings, my grandchildren,
02:55give me strength while I am still in line.
03:07Meanwhile, Susan, when the translation started earlier,
03:10the police entered the barricades.
03:12Near the beginning of the procession,
03:14the groups of devotees were not allowed to speak.
03:18And when the procession started from Kilinugranstan,
03:21the barricades were also opened.
03:23The people of the MMDA and the Department of Public Services of Manila City Hall
03:27were busy cleaning up the trash.
03:30They immediately put the trash in the truck that was following the street sweepers.
03:35At the first aid station of the MMDA,
03:37some devotees were picked up this morning
03:39who were injured after they tried to hit the road of the whole of Nazareno.
03:43That is all for now from Kilinugranstan.
03:45I am James Agustin for GEMI Integrated News.
03:53Tune in to GEMI Integrated News on YouTube at Tungtok sa Unang Balita.
