No-fly and no-sail zone policies will be implemented along the route of the Traslacion in this year’s Feast of Jesus Nazareno, according to Manila Police District (MPD) on Monday.
“Ipaalala lang natin na nag-iimplement na rin po ng no sail zone ang Philippine Coast Guard dyan po sa likuran ng Quirino Grandstand. At meron din po tayong no fly zone so bawal po magpalipad ng mga drones d’yan para na rin po sa kaligtasan ng lahat,” MPD chief Police Brigadier General Thomas Ibay told Dobol B TV in an interview.
(Just a reminder that the Philippine Coast Guard is also implementing a no sail zone policy behind the Quirino Grandstand. And we also have a no fly zone, so it is forbidden to fly drones there for everyone’s safety.”
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) told GMA News Online that the no sail policy is effective over the Traslacion area from January 6 to 10.
Here is the route of the Traslacion:
Over 14,000 police personnel and force multipliers will be deployed to secure the conduct of the procession, according to the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO).
The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Sunday said a comprehensive security plan is being implemented in coordination with other agencies, local governments, and religious groups for Traslacion.
Cops will be deployed in key areas including the procession route, high-density locations, and designated entry and exit points.
To maintain order, PNP’s specialized units will be in charge of crowd control while its Intelligence Group and Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG) will closely monitor any potential physical and digital threats.
Medical teams and quick response units will be on stand-by to provide assistance to devotees in case of emergency.
The PNP’s Highway Patrol Group (HPG) and local traffic enforcers will manage traffic flow and implement rerouting schemes to minimize disruptions for both devotees and the general public.
Devotees are reminded to avoid bringing prohibited items such as bladed or pointed objects, backpacks, or any items that may pose safety risks for a smooth inspection and ensure overall safety of the event.
“Traslacion is a profound expression of faith and devotion. The PNP is fully committed to safeguarding every devotee, dedicating all necessary resources to ensure peace and order during this sacred occasion,” PNP chief Police General Rommel Marbil said.
“We call on devotees and the public to cooperate with security protocols, report any suspicious activities, and prioritize safety. Your vigilance and cooperation are vital to the success of this event,” he added.—AOL, GMA Integrated News
