MANILA—Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle early Thursday called for peace amid mounting tension in the Middle East as he opened the feast of Black Nazarene, which is expected to draw millio

ns of Catholic faithful.

"Ipanalangin natin na maging ligtas ang ating mga kapuwa sa Middle East. Humupa ang mga pagnanais na sirain ang kapuwa. Humupa ang mga hangarin na maghiganti," he said. Hundreds of thousands of devotees turned out for the start of this year's procession of Black Nazarene, popularly known as Traslacion, which began early at around 4:15 a.m.

To secure the mammoth procession, where many devotees usually flock in droves to touch or get near with the Black Nazarene, thousands of police were deployed along the procession route. Mobile phone services from major telecommunication firms were also shut down. "Wagas na pag-ibig, 'yan din ang ating misyon. Hindi dapat tayo maging daan ng kapahamakan o kasiraan ng kapuwa," the prelate said, who is expected to lead a powerful post in Vatican in February.
