In the Archdiocese of Manila, Apostolic Administrator Bishop Broderick S. Pabillo thanked Mayor Isko Moreno for adjusting the curfew hours which will be effective from 12 midnight to 3 a.m. to give churchgoers a chance to attend the novena masses.
“We are very thankful for his consideration,” Pabillo said. Metro Manila mayors have also agreed to adjust the curfew hours to 12 midnight to 3 a.m. for the same purpose effective last December 1.
“We have also advised all the parishes under the jurisdiction of the Manila archdiocese to celebrate more masses to give the faithful more opportunities to go to church,” Pabillo said. To observe physical distancing, only 30 percent of the church’s capacity is allowed under the general community quarantine.
