MANILA\u00a0— With almost 1.4 million devotees joining the celebration, the feast of the Black Nazarene ended generally peaceful early Thursday morning, the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) said.<\/p>\n

NCRPO Chief, Police Director Guillermo Eleazar, said there were no major untoward incidents during the\u00a0Traslacion<\/em>\u00a0(transfer) of the image of the Black Nazarene on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Eleazar noted zero crime incidents during the\u00a0traslacion<\/em>\u00a0as he expressed his gratitude to the help and cooperation from stakeholders and agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on our assessment, it\u2019s better now than before, with the result of peace and order situation and with the result of injuries and casualties,\u00a0naging mas maayos ngayon kesa<\/em>\u00a0last time but\u00a0gusto pa natin mas pagandahin pa<\/em>\u00a0for traslacion 2020 (it has been orderly compared to last year but we would like to improve for next year),\u201d Eleazar told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo untoward incident\u00a0tayo, wala tayong<\/em>\u00a0casualties except\u00a0meron tayong\u00a0<\/em>740 devotees who got minor injuries and were provided medical assistance. Basically, generally peaceful\u00a0tayo<\/em>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The procession lasted for about 21 hours and 7 minutes on the 6.15-kilometer procession route. The Black Nazarene’s carriage finally reached Quiapo Church around 2:08 a.m. on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not really concerned about the travel time\u00a0kasi<\/em>\u00a0our consideration is\u00a0pagiging tahimik at maayos<\/em>\u00a0(for this to be orderly). They (devotees\/hijos) owned this activity\/program.\u00a0Naging maayos dahil lahat ng<\/em>\u00a0concerned agencies\u00a0ay ginawa nila ang kanilang mga\u00a0<\/em>assignments\u00a0dito<\/em>\u00a0(Everything went well because all concerned agencies did their respective jobs),\u201d Eleazar said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe deployed around 7,200\u00a0na kapulisan. Andito ang kapulisan\u00a0<\/em>more than one day\u00a0na walang palitan ng uniporme, walang tulugan, walang pahinga.<\/em>\u00a0I would like to commend\u00a0ang ating kapulisan at pati na din ang mga<\/em>\u00a0media\u00a0na sumasama sa atin<\/em>\u00a0(Our police stayed for more than a day, no changing of clothes, no sleep, no rest. I commend them and the media for joining us),\u201d the NCRPO chief noted.<\/p>\n

The procession started after the mass at the Quirino Grandstand at around 5 a.m. Wednesday. The procession was expected to last for almost a day as its pace was very slow due to the huge crowd and flock of people waiting along the procession route.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
