I need to be in Chino Roces in Makati at 11:00am. Will I be affected by the traffic if I'm coming from NLEX?

Malayo na.

Contrary to earlier media report that Jan 9 is a non working day for Manila, City Hall now says that it is up to the owners of Private Offices if they'll open on that day...

Is it still safe to go to Binondo tomorrow (January 7)? Wala pa naman Black Nazarene activities?

December 9 pa naman yung BN activities. Even on the day itself, as long as you don't get blocked by the procession routes, ok ka pa.

Quiapo =/= Binondo, although malapit na yung dalawa hehe

MANILA, Philippines – As the year opens, Black Nazarene devotees prepare for the upcoming Traslacion on January 9, 2018.

Millions of devotees of the Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno pledge to participate in the procession starting at Quirino Grandstand to Quiapo Church every year, hoping for miracles or thankful for them.

Last Sunday, December 31, thousands of devotees joined the Black Nazarene thanksgiving procession early Sunday. (IN PHOTOS: Thousands join Black Nazarene thanksgiving procession)

The Black Nazarene statue, crowned with thorns and bearing a cross, was brought to Manila by Augustinian priests in 1607. It is also believed to have been partially burnt and blackened when the galleon carrying it caught fire on a voyage from Mexico, another Spanish colony at the time.

The official Facebook Page of the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo released the list of activities for the upcoming Traslacion. Here is the list:

December 31, 2 am – Thanksgiving Procession
December 31 to January 8, 6 pm – Novena Mass
January 7, 1:30 pm – Replica procession
January 9, 12 mn – Eucharistic Celebration at Quirino Grandstand. Fr Hernando Coronel is the presider of the mass while Archbishop of Manila Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle will give the homily.
January 9, 5 am – After the morning prayer at 5 am, Traslacion starts from Luneta to Quiapo Church.
