President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Monday called on the country to look back on the Philippines' culture of overcoming trials, as thousands of devotees commemorate the Feast of the Black Nazarene. In a statement, Marcos said the public should take the transfer of the image of Nuestro Padre Señor Jesus de Nazareno from Intramuros to Quiapo as a symbol of the journey of “finding new meaning in our passions and sufferings as people.”
“As the Catholic Faithful expresses their devotion to the Black Nazarene, let us also remember its deep rootedness in our Filipino culture of overcoming the great trials and tribulations in our midst,” he said. “It is through our faith that we can conquer the storms that loom ahead of us and bring forth a life filled with grace and steadfastness,” he added.“Together, let us embody these values as we write a new chapter in our nation’s narrative so we can altogether usher in an era of peace and prosperity for all.”which was held instead of the traditional Traslacion procession of the image of the Black Nazarene.
