As of 4:00 p.m., an estimated 492,000 devotees were surrounding or following the andas of the Jesus Nazarene, according to the NCRPO, as reported by RH Jecelle Ricafort. Authorities clarified that this figure represents the andas count along the procession route and not the total number of participants across Manila.

The Traslacion still has seven more route segments to traverse before reaching Hidalgo Street, the final stretch toward San Sebastian Basilica for the traditional Dungaw ceremony.

At Plaza del Carmen, in front of the basilica, devotees packed the area while the ongoing mass continued inside the church as they awaited the arrival of Jesus Nazarene for the 'Dungaw' ritual.
