Don’ts

• Do not come up or jump on the transport platform that carries the Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno or the Black Nazarene.

• Devotees are encouraged to use the lever or rope that guides the way of the Black Nazarene.

Other reminders

• Vulnerable persons, persons with disabilities, and children should just wait at the side of the street for safety.

• Make sure to eat properly before going to the Traslacion to ensure your strength during the procession.

With the lifting of restrictions, the Philippine National Police (PNP) on Tuesday said they will be deploying around 16,000 personnel to ensure the safety of the expected millions of devotees.
