Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 9) Hundreds of thousands of devotees swarmed the Quiapo area in hopes of attending mass celebrations in honor of the Black Nazarene amid the threat of the coronavirus pandemic.

As of 10:15 p.m., during the last mass of the day, the police estimated 7,800 devotees left in the Quiapo area. The grand total number of devotees that flocked to the place from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. of Saturday is 260,527.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has completely changed the way Filipino Catholics celebrate this year’s feast day of the Black Nazarene.
Hourly masses in Quiapo Church or Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene were live-streamed on its official social media page so devotees could still hear mass even in the comfort of their homes.
Church officials limited the number of people inside Quiapo Church to 30 percent to ensure that physical distancing is observed, and in compliance with the guidelines of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases.
Devotees who were unable to physically attend masses posted their prayers on the official Facebook page of Quiapo Church where the hourly masses are live-streamed.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 8) All classes in Manila and most work in the city government are suspended on Saturday for the Feast of the Black Nazarene.
Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso signed an executive order on Friday, which also prohibits the sale of liquor and other alcoholic beverages within the Quiapo District, where masses will be held in the absence of the traditional Traslacion or procession which was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Moreno said the suspension of work and classes would allow devotees to participate in online activities to mark the feast. This covers classes in all levels and work in all departments, offices and bureaus in the city government, except for frontline services.
