Waste and pollution watchdog makes appeal to Nazareno devotees for a COVID-safe, trash-free feast

(ALI VICOY / MANILA BULLETIN)
EcoWaste Coalition called upon the devotees to respect the cancellation of the “Traslacion” procession and “pahalik” jointly agreed by the local government and church authorities to prevent the mass gathering of people amid the continuing threat of COVID-19 transmission.
“We join Mayor Isko Moreno and Monsignor Ding Coronel in their efforts to ensure the health and safety of the devotees by adopting precautionary measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in traditional events involving large numbers of worshippers,” EcoWaste zero waste campaigner Jove Benosa said.
“As the Black Nazarene lives in the heart of the believer, we request the devotees to celebrate and renew their devotion to the Black Nazarene by praying at home or by attending masses in their local parishes instead of going to Quiapo to avoid large crowds,” he added.
