00:00 As the translation ended, the trash left by the worshippers came to the scene.
00:06 But the chaos continued.
00:10 And Darlene Cai witnessed it.
00:13 Darlene?
00:14 Pia, there are still many devotees around Quiapo, but more are returning home.
00:21 We are thankful and happy for the devotees we talked to
00:24 who were able to recite the whole Nazareno in the translation earlier.
00:28 But there are also those who regret that they did not see the whole thing
00:32 and they were not able to recite the whole translation
00:35 because it ended earlier than expected.
00:37 Trash was left behind after the translation around Quiapo, like here in Quezon Boulevard.
00:48 But the cleaning continued.
00:51 And the people of Manila Department of Public Safety and MMDA immediately threw away the trash.
00:57 And even though the whole Nazareno was able to enter the Church,
01:02 the devotees are still full in Quezon Boulevard.
01:05 Many are returning home after the translation ended.
01:08 Macky Garcia is one of those who were cursed by the devil.
01:12 She was able to hold the end of the cross that was left by the black Nazareno.
01:16 She knows that it is better to talk than to curse, but this is her vow every time there is a translation.
01:23 Many devotees were not able to recite the whole translation.
01:27 Sonia Maravilla was saddened.
01:30 She did not expect that the procession would end early because she did not see the whole thing.
01:35 Jennifer Mecono did not expect this either.
01:38 Based on their experience before, it was until midnight.
01:42 So they are just listening to the mass that was held in the Quiapo Church today.
01:47 The Church is already full, so many devotees are just outside.
01:51 Others are praying in the other side of Quezon Boulevard.
01:56 You were cursed by the devil?
01:59 Yes, by the end of the cross.
02:01 It was delicious and fun.
02:03 Even though we were tired, it was delicious.
02:06 It is very important for us that the whole Nazareno can attend the feast
02:11 because we are devotees of the Nazareno and we believe in the help that He is giving us.
02:21 Meanwhile, as you can see, there are still thousands of devotees here in Quezon Boulevard,
02:27 particularly on the very side of the Church on the southbound side,
02:31 which is facing another part of Manila.
02:34 It is still not passed by cars, but there are some cars that are passing
02:40 here on the northbound side of Quezon Boulevard, facing Quezon City.
02:45 Live from Quiapo, Manila, I am Darlene Cain of GMA Integrated News.
02:51 Thank you for watching.
