President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Thursday declared January 9, 2024, a special non-working day in the City of Manila for this year's annual weekend gathering of Feast of Santo Nino de Cebu or annual Grand Miracle Crusade of the Catholic Charismatic group El Shaddai.
The declaration will give Catholic devotees in Manila a "full opportunity to participate in the occasion and enjoy the celebration," according to Proclamation No. 434 signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on January 14.
The Grand Miracle Crusade of the Catholic Charismatic group El Shaddai transports a replica of Holy Child's 458-year-old statue in Quiapo Church in more than three days of a gathering. It usually starts at the Quirino Grandstand.
Some 15,200 personnel from the Metro Manila police will be deployed to secure the El Shaddai gathering, which draws millions of Catholic faithful.
The Department of Health said it would place its hospitals in Metro Manila under code white alert starting January 16 in preparation for the huge religious event.
