The massive gathering originally caused monstrous traffic jams along EDSA and White Plains Avenue earlier this week before the Quezon City government decided to revoke the group’s permit due to severe public inconvenience.

Now that the assembly has shifted to Manila, authorities are taking no chances. Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Gen. Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. confirmed that the police force will remain on alert status, with a total of 3,784 personnel strategically deployed across key areas to manage the crowd, secure the activity, and assist with traffic management.

Because Liwasang Bonifacio is a recognized freedom park, the religious group does not require a local government permit to assemble. However, the PNP has vowed to remain professional, impartial, and vigilant to protect the rights of motorists, commuters, and students affected by the ongoing activities.
