The Manila Police District (MPD) has begun a comprehensive post-event review of the 2026 Feast of the Jesus Nazarene, focusing on lessons learned from crowd management, medical response, and inter-agency coordination following one of the largest Traslacions in recent history.

While authorities confirmed that the celebration concluded peacefully and without major security incidents, MPD officials acknowledged that the sheer scale and 30-hour, 50-minute duration of the procession, which drew an estimated 9,640,290 devotees, revealed key areas for operational improvement.

The unprecedented turnout put significant strain on existing protocols, particularly at narrow streets, bridges, and the church arch.

The procession also recorded 1,000 cases, mostly involving heat exhaustion, dizziness, and minor trauma, and three fatalities, two from cardiac events and one from head trauma, prompting authorities to reevaluate first-aid deployment, hydration points, and rapid patient evacuation procedures for future events.

The MPD praised the efforts of 15,000 uniformed personnel, supported by 4,382 volunteers, medical teams, and partner agencies, for maintaining the procession's order.

MPD said the after-action review will inform improvements in crowd-flow planning, emergency response, and safety enforcement to ensure future Traslacions strike a balance between faith, devotion, and public safety.
