Her grandmother is now in her 70s but still goes to the Basilica although she now avoids the areas with the most foot traffic. On Friday, January 10, Alexane and Josefina took the free bus ride from Robinsons Galleria that dropped them off at the area near Malacañang sa Sugbo. “Kahibaw ta unsa ka lisud i-attend sa mga Misa kay mo-drive pa ka, mo-agi pa ka ug traffic, mag lisud pa ka og park. Pero ang mga devotees who will attend the religious events no matter what man gyud. We have to support the devotion by doing what we can to make it easier para nila,” says Barney Borja, SGB executive director.

The frequency of the free rides is aligned with the Novena Mass schedules. The free bus rides will run until January 19, Sunday.
