“On January 7, 8, and 9, wala pong papayagan na magtitinda. Lahat ng nasa vicinity sa simbahan ng Quiapo,” Domagoso said.
(On January 7, 8, and 9, no vendors will be allowed. Everyone within the vicinity of Quiapo Church.)
“Tatlong araw. Para naman na sa ganoon, 'yung makapaganda rin ang lungsod na makapag-leave buong area,” he added.
(Three days. That way, the city can also prepare and clear the entire area.)
Domagoso also urged vendors not to sell items that may harm devotees.
“I hope huwag po kayong magtitinda ng bagay na gagamit ng may mga matutulis na gamit katulad ng stick. Kasi marami sa mga deboto natin nakapaa,” he said.
