Jostling briefly disrupts Pahalik at Quirino Grandstand

Organizers had to cut access to the Pahalik shortly after 2 a.m. until order at the line could be restored, radio dzBB's James Agustin reported.

 

Despite this, some of the devotees even tried to push the obstacle to force their way in, the report said.

 

The Pahalik eventually resumed after organizers restored the priority lane for the elderly and the pregnant.

Container vans were also placed at Escolta Street, where a predawn fire razed a building that used to house the City College of Manila on Wednesday.

 

As of early Friday, a portion of Roxas Boulevard near Quirino Grandstand was not passable as devotees camped out, dzBB's Agustin reported.  — Joel Locsin/ELR, GMA News
