Barangay officials, meanwhile, reminded those who will watch the event to continue following health protocols by wearing face masks and maintaining social distancing. “Yung pong face mask at saka social distancing po ,” Barangay San Pedro Kagawad Filipina Dela Cruz said.The Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines said that reenactment of the crucifixion is not part of the tradition of the Catholic Church.

"Ito naman ay ginagawa ng ibang mga tao na naniniwala na kapag sila ay nagpapako sa krus o 'di kaya naglatigo ng sarili, mapapatawad 'yung kanilang kasalanan that is very contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church kasi kung pagpapatawad ng kasalanan ang pinag-uusapan, kumpisal ang kina-kailangan ng isang nagkasala,” CBCP Fr. Jerome Seciliano said.

The leaders of the Church said Holy Week is a time for repentance of sins and conversion. Devotees are encouraged perform acts of penance beyond Lent and incorporate these in daily way.
