Iglesia ni Cristo rally may have more attendees on Wednesday, NCRPO says

The second day of Iglesia ni Cristo rally at the EDSA People Power Monument in Quezon City set on Wednesday may have more attendees, according to the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO).

"Posible pong maabot yung dami tulad kahapon at dahil meron na silang permit, baka mas marami na po silang miyembro na dumalo," said NCRPO spokesperson Police Major Hazel Asilo in an interview on Unang Balita.

(It's possible to reach the same number as yesterday and since they already have a permit, they might have more members attending.)

The crowd estimate ON Tuesday at the People Power Monument peaked at around 15,500.

As of 6 am, the crowd estimate in the area is at 5,000, according to the Quezon City Police District.

The Quezon City government on Tuesday granted the request of the Iglesia Ni Cristo for a rally permit for July 1, along the stretch of White Plains Avenue to Temple Drive.

In its approval of the permit, the QC Department of Public Order and Safety (DPOS) said it has "no objection" to the conduct of a "peaceful rally along White Plains Avenue - Temple Drive"
on Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

"Since meron nakuha na po sila permit kahapon, agad na po tayo nakapag prepare ng mga dapat gawin. Sa daloy ng trapiko nagkaron na tayo ng koordinasyon sa MMDA na mag clear ng daan sa EDSA," Asilo said.
