The Philippine National Police (PNP) reminded Jesus Nazarene devotees to strictly follow safety rules as at least five million people are expected to converge in Manila on Jan. 9 for the annual religious activity.
Acting PNP chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio C. Nartatez, Jr. said they are now coordinating closely with local government units, marshals, and other authorities to ensure fast and maximum assistance and response to any incidents.
He emphasized the importance of vigilance and cooperation to ensure a safe procession for all devotees.
“We have not monitored any threat related to security but we are closely monitoring the situation, including social media postings,” Nartatez said.
