00:12Here is what Vell Custodio reported.
00:14It was 4.41 in the early morning yesterday when Jesus Nazareno walked from Quirino Grandstand.
00:21He arrived at the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno earlier at 1.26 a.m.
00:26It took him almost 21 hours.
00:29That's 6 hours longer than the previous year.
00:33The procession took longer to walk and the devotees were forced to climb the stairs.
00:39More than 8 million people participated in the activity of Jesus Nazareno's feast.
00:44There are many factors to consider.
00:46First of all, when we started at Quirino Grandstand, the stairs were a bit wide.
00:54Secondly, because of the faith of the devotees, they were still forced to climb the stairs.
01:02It's a good thing that at least the stairs were not damaged.
