Quezon City officials issued an advisory Tuesday cautioning motorists to prepare for heavy traffic conditions during the religious procession scheduled for Wednesday. The congestion is anticipated to peak between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., coinciding with the "recorrido," or procession route, which begins at Metrobank and traverses key city thoroughfares.
The local government recommended that drivers avoid the procession route during the specified period and instead utilize alternative roads to minimize delays. Residents and commuters were encouraged to plan their travel accordingly to reduce congestion in affected areas.
The La Naval de Manila procession is an annual religious observance that draws large crowds of devotees throughout Metro Manila. The event typically necessitates road closures and traffic rerouting in participating cities, as participants traverse designated routes carrying the religious image.
Quezon City residents seeking real-time traffic updates and alternate route information were advised to monitor official city announcements and check with the local government unit for the most current guidance.
