00:00Devotees attended the first Sunday Mass in Quiapo Church a few days before the translation.
00:06Meanwhile, the Manila Police District conducted a final walkthrough of the procession route.
00:12This is the center of the news, Vian Manalo, live. Vian?
00:20Kenneth, Luisa, this is the first Sunday of the year and a few days before the feast of the full Nazarene,
00:26the devotees here in the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno in Quiapo, Manila.
00:33You know, Kenneth, Luisa, the weather is not always hot and the time is not always good for our devotees
00:39who are waiting in line to enter the church and listen to the Holy Mass.
00:46Many of them, from far away, their prayers and wishes for the whole Nazarene are in vain.
00:53Just like Mother Cecil, who is from Taguig, who went to Quiapo Church early with her two children and grandchildren.
01:02Aside from good health for her family, she also prays for the whole Nazarene for her husband to drink.
01:11I hope that my husband will not get sick. I hope that he will not drink because he is old, he is a senior.
01:25He drinks, that is what I pray for.
01:31Sister Criselva, who is from Novaliches, prays for her son, who is a special child.
01:40I hope that it will continue to be official and that we will be able to fix what my husband left behind.
01:48Masses are being held here in Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno in Quiapo, Manila.
01:56It starts at 5 a.m. until 9 p.m. It is also part of the upcoming translation on January 9.
02:05More than 14,000 police and security personnel will be deployed on the day of the translation to maintain order and security.
02:17Gunbans will be held from January 8 to January 11.
02:21Liquor bans will also be held from January 8 to January 10 to ensure security in the area.
02:30The special non-working holiday of January 9 in Manila will also be held in Malacanang as part of the National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno.
02:38Because of this, classes will be suspended in all areas of the city.
02:42Last year, more than 6 million devotees attended the translation and it is expected that this number will increase this year.
02:50Meanwhile, vendors around the church are also very active.
02:54They are also hoping that they will earn more money in the next few days as the holiday approaches.
03:02I am very tired, but I am very happy.
03:10Kenneth Luisa, earlier this morning around 6 a.m.,
03:13conducted the final walkthrough of the Quirino Grandstand in the Manila Police District.
03:19This is to ensure that the procession for the Translation 2025 will be safe and orderly.
03:26And from here in Quiapo Church, return to the studio.
03:30Thank you very much, BN Manalo.
