NewsTranscript
00:00More than 8 million devotees are taking part in the feast of St. Jesus of Nazareth from January 2.
00:07The translation took more than 20 hours.
00:11The reasons why the translation is taking longer this year is because of the testimony of Mackie Pulido.
00:23Every road that St. Jesus of Nazareth passed through,
00:27devotees will be able to reach it.
00:31From Quirino Grandstand, it took more than 20 hours
00:35to reach the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of St. Jesus of Nazareth or Quapo Church,
00:41which was closed early this morning.
00:48More than 8 million people took part in all activities from January 2 to 9,
00:52including worshiping.
00:55According to Quapo Church, this is the highest number of devotees taking part in the feast of St. Jesus of Nazareth.
01:01It is estimated that more than 4 million people took part in the translation.
01:05That is why the slow procession this year is due to the large number and aggressive devotees
01:10who were accompanied by good weather.
01:12Yesterday was a perfect winter.
01:14If you notice, the weather did not get hot.
01:19It was cold but it did not rain.
01:22That is why people do not stop on the road, even if it is always sunny.
01:28The road was cut twice because the road wheels got stuck
01:32in the area of Taft and Finance 3.
01:34The road also went under when it reached Plaza del Carmen in St. Sebastian Church.
01:38We were not able to move the road because the road went under.
01:45We had to cut it because it was under.
01:48We had to cut it from the top.
01:50That is why from Plaza del Carmen to Plaza Miranda,
01:55our road did not go under.
01:56Before the road was cut, we also learned that there were devotees who climbed here and took alms.
02:02In Zipi de Guzman, it was difficult to move the road because there was no road.
02:06That is why the police, who are also farmers,
02:08guarded the road to speed up the translation.
02:11We really intended to wear their tactical uniform
02:16to show to the devotees that we want to speed up the translation of our road.
02:24When the police and police officers switched to the road,
02:26the sea was covered by people.
02:28But the devotees went to the road.
02:31In Plaza Miranda, there were police waiting.
02:35At one point, a police officer and a devotee even fought.
02:40In the entire translation, it was noticed that even though it was prohibited,
02:44there were still a lot of people who climbed the road.
02:46Even though it was less compared to the past years.
02:50They are still studying if there is anything else that can be done to prevent this from happening.
02:54We are not saying that the road will change.
02:56We are just having enhancements, improvements, and renovations
03:01because we are learning every year.
03:03According to the NCRPO, the Translation 2025 is still generally peaceful.
03:09According to the Department of Health,
03:10more than 700 people were brought to the medical tents
03:13and more than 500 were taken to the hospitals.
03:16At the end of the translation,
03:18a pile of garbage was left on the streets of Quiapo.
03:21The garbage was piled up.
03:23The vendors left before they opened their stalls.
03:27If you are a good person, you are clean.
03:29If you are not a good person, you are dirty.
03:34You throw your food everywhere.
03:39This part of Plaza del Carmen, right in front of the St. Sebastian Church,
03:44where the riot took place, was also almost hit.
03:46More than a hundred trucks or almost 400 tons of garbage
03:50were piled up in the Translation 2025
03:53according to the Manila Department of Public Services.
03:56For GMA Integrated News, I am Mackie Pulido, your Saksi.
