MANILA, Philippines — About 100 people massed in front of the EDSA Shrine in Pasig City on Tuesday although the reason for their presence was not clear and who their leader was.
Rector Rev. Fr. Jerome Secillano said in a Facebook post, that the people were at the Shrine as early as 6 a.m. for 'reasons only known to them, and for some, unknown to them.''They were warmly allowed inside the Shrine and they participated in the celebration of the 7:00 a.m. mass,' he said.Secillano also said those who flocked to the shrine opted to stay inside, and were accommodated and not 'shooed away.'The same people attended the 12:15 p.m.
Secillano said, however, that they 'won't be allowed to eat, drink, carry slogans, shout, vlog, sleep, make noise, debate and loiter in the areas leading to the doors of the shrine. The latter will give the impression to mass-goers, pilgrims and devotees that the Shrine is not available for worship and prayer.''We insist that proper decorum be practiced in this sacred place, a house of worship and a repository of the Blessed Sacrament,' he added.
