00:00Sadly, there's no one to blame for the untimely deaths of four devotees who lost their lives during the pahalik and record-long grand procession of El Nazareno over the past weekend.
00:12The bereaved families of the four casualties are agreed this lamentable development is par for the course during each traslasyon, as our Ryan Lecigues reports.
00:22There are reportedly no plans for the families of some devotees who died during the height of the traslasyon 2026 to file a complaint or case against Quiapot Church.
00:35According to NCRPO spokesperson, Police Major Hazel Asilo, the families of those who died were aware of the possible risks every time the procession of the image of El Nazareno is held.
00:45Based doon sa pag-imbestiga ng ating mga tauhan mula sa homicide, walang plano or wala pa silang naiisip na reason para kasuhan yung simbahan regarding doon sa nangyari sa kanilang pamilya.
00:58Four people were reported to have lost their lives during the traslasyon.
01:03In addition, more than 1,000 devotees were given first aid after sustaining various injuries or wounds due to crowding and pushing.
01:11Meanwhile, the events during this year's traslasyon of Jesus Nazareno are considered a lesson learned for the Philippine National Police or PNP.
01:20The NCRPO failed to meet its target of 15 hours as the procession instead doubled and lasted for nearly 31 hours.
01:29Asilo stressed that one of the main challenges for the police was the larger number of devotees who joined the procession.
01:36The new generation of devotees was also described as more aggressive.
01:40Yung mga actuations at yung siguro yung mga bagong breed ng ating mga deboto na hindi talaga nagpapapigil kahit na may mga pulis na tayo na nandun sa mismong andas.
01:52Hindi talaga sila natinag kahit na pulis na yung naghahawi sa kanila.
01:57For the next traslasyon, the NCRPO is targeting to deploy more IHOS police.
02:02They will undergo stricter training, especially since they're being first-timers in guarding the Andas.
02:08And the Nazareno also posed a challenge during this year's traslasyon.
02:13Around 700 IHOS police were deployed by the NCRPO to assist the Andas, but they were overwhelmed by the devotees.
