Nakahanda na para sa deployment ang higit 1,000 tauhan ng Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) para sa Traslacion 2025 sa darating na Enero 9.
Inatasan ni PCG Commandant, Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan ang Coast Guard District National Capital Region – Central Luzon (CGDNCR-CL) na makipagtulungan sa Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine National Police (PNP) at lokal na pamahalaan ng Maynila upang umalalay sa mga deboto na dadalo sa prusisyon at masiguro ang ligtas at payapang Pista ng Itim na Nazareno.
“We are expecting millions of devotees who will attend the series of activities during Black Nazarene Traslacion 2025,” pahayag ni Admiral Gavan.
“The PCG assists in ensuring public safety and security against possible risks, including terrorism, stampedes, fire within nearby areas, and natural disasters, such as an earthquake during the yearly Catholic commemoration,” dagdag niya.
Kabilang sa mga ipadadala na team ang Coast Guard K9 teams, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units, Special Operations Groups (SOGs), Civil Disturbance Management (CDM) teams, at Deployable Response Groups (DRGs).
Itatalaga sila sa bahagi ng Quirino Grandstand, Jones Bridge at sa paligid ng Quiapo Church.
Magkakaroon ng karagdagang 21 floating assets ang PCG para magsagawa ng maritime security and safety operations sa Pasig River at Manila Bay.
“We are one with our Catholic brothers and sisters in celebrating the Annual Feast of the Black Nazarene,” pagtitiyak ni Gavan.
“The millions of devotees can rest assured that they will have a successful and memorable commemoration through the support of the national government and law enforcement agencies that come together to a common cause – which is to ensure zero-casualty during Traslacion 2025,” dagdag niya. – VC
