MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Motorists are advised to avoid areas headed towards the Quezon City Memorial Circle (QCMC) and take alternative routes instead due to the Unity Walk, Inter-Faith Prayer Rally and Peace Covenant Signing for the 2019 Midterm Elections, to be held on Sunday.<\/p>\n

In a statement Saturday, Quezon City Police District (QCPD) director, Chief Supt. Joselito T. Esquivel Jr., said the program will commence with a unity walk at about 4 a.m., to be attended by multi-sectorial groups, stakeholders, leaders, personnel and members of government agencies, religious groups, academe, students, civic and other non-government organizations.<\/p>\n

A portion of the Elliptical Road, from East Ave. to Kalayaan Ave., will be closed to traffic at 5 a.m.<\/p>\n

All vehicles shall be re-directed to turn right at East Ave. southbound where they can take a left turn at Matalino St., then another left turn at Kalayaan Ave. towards Elliptical Road.<\/p>\n

The road will be re-opened when all the participants are positioned inside the three inner lanes of the Elliptical Road.<\/p>\n

A portion of the Elliptical Road along Philcoa will be closed to traffic during the march-off due to ongoing road works that occupies three lanes.<\/p>\n

All vehicles shall be re-directed to turn right at Philcoa-Commonwealth and make a U-turn at the Tandang Sora Flyover towards Elliptical Road. Similarly, the road will be re-opened when the participants are already inside the QCMC.<\/p>\n

The participants of the unity walk will assemble in front of the Quezon City Hall, particularly at the Sunken Garden along the open roads leading to Gate 8.<\/p>\n

From the Sunken Garden, they will proceed to the QCMC for the inter-faith prayer rally and peace covenant signing to be held at the Liwasang Aurora, where invited guests and visitors, including Philippine National Police Chief, Director General Oscar Albayalde; Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief-of-Staff, Gen. Benjamin R. Madrigal Jr.; and Commission on Elections Chairman, Sheriff Abas will deliver their messages.<\/p>\n

All participants are advised to use the QC Hall Gate 7, along Kalayaan Ave. to access designated drop-off points at the open space in front of the Quezon City Public Library. They may proceed to the QC multi-level parking area or to the QCMC Max\u2019s Restaurant parking area using Kalayaan Ave.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the open space in front of the Quezon Memorial Shrine will be utilized for VIP parking.<\/p>\n

The activity will end with the release of white doves as a symbol of peace and unity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
