Biggest crowd won’t cross MacArthur Bridge

MANILA, Philippines – The annual anniversary celebration of El Shaddai DWXI-PPFI will pass the MacArthur Bridge as observed in previous years but will instead pass through the Jones Bridges, which is more stable.

Dr. Franklin Velarde said the change in route was adopted to avoid untoward incidents as recommended by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

Velarde said the DPWH found out that the structural stability of the MacArthur Bridge could handle the bulk of participants, who will attend the event.

The DPWH, he said, recommended the Jones Bridge as an alternate route which has undergone repairs and stability check in preparation for the millions of devotees attending the procession.

“This is to ensure the safety of everyone,” he said.
