The devotees are allowed to touch the images of the Black Nazarene during the Pagpupugay event. However, they are not allowed to kiss the images. This event will be held from Jan. 7 to 9 at the Quirino Grandstand.

Meanwhile, the City Government of Manila will impose a liquor ban and class suspension in relation to the Feast of the Black Nazarene.

The liquor ban will take effect from Jan. 7 to 9, said Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna.

“Opo, maglalabas po kami ng executive order patungkol po sa liquor ban at kasama na din yung sa executive order na pagde-declare na ang January 9 ay wala pong pasok sa Lungsod ng Maynila (Yes, we will issue an executive order regarding liquor ban as well as an executive order declaring class suspension in the City of Manila),” she said.
