MANILA\u2014<\/strong>\u00a0The Joint Task Force-National Capital Region (JTF-NCR) said the worst case scenario for Tuesday’s ‘Traslacion’ or procession of the Black Nazarene in Manila is a stampede.<\/p>\n

“(Kung) magkaroon ng mga<\/em>\u00a0stampede,\u00a0maraming talagang mabalian dyan<\/em>,” JTF-NCR head Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado said.<\/p>\n

However, Arrojado said both police and military units tasked to secure the annual religious event are trained to do systematic evacuation or first aid.<\/p>\n

The JTF-NCR chief stressed that they have yet to detect any terror threats for Tuesday’s procession.<\/p>\n

“Wala kaming na<\/em>-monitor, although (on) heightened alert\u00a0kami<\/em>,” he added.<\/p>\n

As this develops, the JTF-NCR chief said that military personnel, including those of reservists, tasked to augment police units securing the “Traslacion” is now placed at 1,442, higher than 1,000 which was earlier announced.<\/p>\n

Arrojado said these military personnel include units tasked for decontamination, mass casualties, crowd control, security, intelligence, emergency preparedness and response forces, communication, search-and-rescue, logistics and those trained to respond to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
