MMDA seeks work, class suspension in Manila, Pasay for Jan 13 INC rally
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) anticipates up to 1 million attendees for an Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) rally on Monday, January 13, at the Quirino Grandstand.
Due to the expected large gathering, the MMDA is recommending the suspension of work and classes in Manila and Pasay cities on the same day.
MMDA chairman Romando Artes stated that this recommendation has been submitted to Malacañang and they are awaiting its approval.
Some roads near the Quirino Grandstand have been designated as parking zones for the event, which is expected to cause significant traffic congestion.
Around 1,300 MMDA personnel will be deployed to manage the traffic situation.
The INC's 'National Rally for Peace' aims to express support for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s stance against the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
