The management of Quiapo Church has released the official schedule and itinerary for the Blessing of the Nazarene Replicas set on January 3, alongside the strict implementation of a "zero-vendor" policy along key routes, as reported by RH Boy Gonzales.

According to church officials, regular morning Masses will continue until 12:00 noon on January 3. The blessing of the Nazarene replicas is scheduled to begin at around 1:00 p.m.

Based on the approved plan, there will be two main assembly or standby areas for the replicas. The first route will start along Carlos Palangca Street from Barbosa Street, turning right to Villalobos Street, entering Plaza Miranda, and exiting through Quezon Boulevard.

The second standby area will be along Carlos Palangca Street in Barangay 306, with a possible holding point at Makati Bridge along Avenida and Recto before proceeding to Carriedo. From there, the route will turn right to Estero Cegado, left to Carlos Palangca, left again to Villalobos, then enter Plaza Miranda and exit via Quezon Boulevard.

Meanwhile, Manila Hawker Director Raffy Alejandro ordered the enforcement of a zero vendor policy along Villalobos Street and Estero Cegado in Barangay 306 to ensure the smooth flow of the procession.

Church authorities also assured the public that clearing operations have been carried out, with all obstructions removed along the identified areas.

Traffic control measures will be strictly implemented within the church’s area of responsibility to maintain order and safety.

These measures are being carried out in compliance with the directive of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso, as part of preparations for the religious activity.
