    Up to 15,000 youth delegates will flock to the Ateneo de Manila University this Saturday and likely bring traffic congestion to surrounding areas while they celebrate the Filipino counterpart of the World Youth Day (WYD) in Spain, organizers said.

    “WYD 2011 from Madrid to Manila" is an overnight vigil from Saturday to Sunday. The vigil will have as a highlight the video feed of Pope Benedict XVI’s message to the youth.

    On its website, Ateneo suggests the following alternative routes for vehicles plying Katipunan Avenue, the main road in front of the university where traffic jams are daily travails on weekdays.

    With the number of attendees, i doubt it will be much different from your regular school day traffic jam.

    This may even be better since i'd assume a lot of the participants will be in buses... hmmm
