The Philippine Coast Guard is bolstering security measures for the annual Feast of the Jesus Nazareno, deploying over 1,100 personnel to ensure the safety of millions of devotees expected to attend the Black Nazarene Traslacion 2025.
Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Commandant, Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan has directed the Coast Guard District NCR – Central Luzon (CGDNCR-CL) to deploy over 1,100 personnel to support the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine National Police (PNP) and Manila LGU in ensuring the safe, secure, and peaceful conduct of the annual Feast of the Jesus Nazareno. We are expecting millions of devotees who will attend the series of activities during Black Nazarene Traslacion 2025.
The PCG assists in ensuring public safety and security against possible risks, including terrorism, stampedes, fire within nearby areas, and natural disasters, such as an earthquake during the yearly Catholic commemoration, said Gavan. Gavan said the augmentation, which commenced from December 30 to January 10, includes Coast Guard K9 teams, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units, Special Operations Groups (SOGs), Civil Disturbance Management (CDM) teams, and Deployable Response Groups (DRGs) strategically assigned at the Quirino Grandstand, Jones Bridge, and within the vicinity of Quiapo Church. Teams of Coast Guard intelligence experts, crowd security personnel, and medical officers are also present to ensure maximum security and safety, especially during the Black Nazarene procession. The PCG also dispatched 21 floating assets that will conduct maritime security and safety operations in the vicinity waters of Pasig River and Manila Bay, as well as nine land vehicles that perform roving inspections in the city. We are one with our Catholic brothers and sisters in celebrating the Annual Feast of the Black Nazarene. The millions of devotees can rest assured that they will have a successful and memorable commemoration through the support of the national government and law enforcement agencies that come together to a common cause – which is to ensure zero-casualt
