But this year’s “Traslacion” or the annual procession of the image of the Black Nazarene – a statue of a dark-skinned, kneeling Jesus Christ carrying a cross – will be different as the usual route has been altered due to the government’s improvement works.
“Base sa ginawang pagsusuri, sa ngayon ay hindi ito pwedeng daanan ng Traslacion. Tanging ang Ayala Bridge lang ang pwede nating magamit, dahil ‘yan ay base na rin sa rekomendasyon ng DPWH ,” he said at the inter-agency meeting at Benedict Hall in Quiapo, Manila on Monday.In an ambush interview, DPWH engineer Ed Santos,told the Manila Bulletin that the bridges have been undergoing retrofitting.
To recall, a series of deadly tremors hit the country last year that claimed hundreds of lives and damaged millions of pesos worth of property in southern Philippines. Santos remains unsure whether or not Jones Bridge will be used for next year’s more or less 22-hour procession. “So, ang idea namin, sa gabi palang, close na ‘yang mga overpass. Hindi na po namin paaakyatan para kung dumaan man, at least safe tayo para wala man lang ano’ng mangyayari. So hindi po pwede ang media, pasensya na po,” he said.
