From the Nuestra Señora Virgen De La Regla Parish National Shrine the motorcade will proceed to Lopez Jaena Street, P.

“We wish to request everyone to observe “minimum public health standards” at all times while waiting at the roadside,” the city government said in its advisory.
Oponganons are encouraged to wear face masks, maintain social distancing and use alcohol to sanitize while they wait for the motorcade to pass by their respective areas.
“It is advised that each group on the roadside must observe 50 percent capacity limitations as the police and barangay tanods are tasked to implement crowd control measures to ensure that health safety standards are strictly followed,” the city’s advisory reads.
“Babies and small children are discouraged from watching the motorcade.”
In order to keep the solemnity of the motorcade, roadside residents are encouraged to put up altars and wave blue and white banners as they welcome the Nuestra Señora Virgen De La Regla that will be celebrating its annual feast on November 20 and 21.
