In an advisory, the Cebu Port Authority (CPA) said devotees would be allowed entry to the port area, except Berth 27, starting 5 a.m. of Saturday, Jan. 14.
The CPA also announced that Gates 1-6 of the port would be closed for vehicle entry starting 11 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 13, to give way for the preparations and holding of the fluvial parade.
The fluvial parade, which will begin in NavForCen, will end at Pier 1, and a short foot procession will follow going to the Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño.
