Black Nazarene Quiapo 2016: Do's and Don'ts when attending the procession

Black Nazarene Quiapo 2016: Do's and Don'ts when attending the procession
What could be more spectacular than the annual feast of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila?

For this year's event, an estimated 9 to 10 million devotees are expected to participate in a procession to celebrate the reenactment of the image's "Traslación" in 1787 (English: "passage" or "transfer"), or solemn transfer to the Minor Basilica from its original location in what is now Rizal Park.

Rooted in the 17th Century, the procession will parade the iconic image of the cross-bearing Christ in the streets of central Manila.


SAFETY REMINDERS

Know the route in advance and be there earlier than the rest. It's best to know the schematics of the location and the route of the procession so you can get a good spot.

Travel by Light Rail Transit (LRT) to Carriedo Station (the nearest station to Quiapo). There won't be available parking spaces for you (aside from the fact that it's not safe to park and leave your vehicle behind while you join the procession).

If possible, leave your valuables at home especially your cellphones. Mobile phone signals may be temporarily cut off during the event (for security purposes, they say).

Carry light and wear very comfortable clothes and shoes. Don't wear jewelry and don't bring with you expensive gadgets and devices. Do remember that crooks also join processions like these to victimize people.

If traveling with your family, make sure all the members have their respective identification cards with contact numbers in case of emergency.

Bring with you something too eat and drink like sandwiches, crackers, and refillable water.

Don't bring alcoholic drinks, illegal drugs or any weapons. Please be reminded that thousands of cops will be around during the whole event.

And lastly, know the locations of medical stations, police offices and other authorities within the location.

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u...
