The Quezon City government has issued a traffic advisory warning motorists of potential congestion in various city areas during the procession of the La Naval de Manila image on Sunday. Officials said the "Recorrido," or designated route for the religious procession, will originate from Sto. Domingo Church and traverse multiple thoroughfares throughout the metropolis.
The La Naval de Manila procession is an annual religious observance that attracts thousands of devotees and pilgrims to the city. The event commemorates the historical naval victory attributed to the Virgin Mary's intercession during the Spanish colonial period.
Quezon City authorities recommend motorists avoid the affected areas during the procession hours or allow additional travel time for their journeys. Commuters are advised to check real-time traffic updates and consider using alternative routes to minimize delays.
The city government has not specified exact street closures or alternative traffic arrangements at this time. Residents requiring additional information regarding the procession route are encouraged to contact the Quezon City Public Information Office or monitor official city announcements.
