An official of the CBRT management said the risk of a stampede is high if the old route for the Fiesta Señor foot processions will be retained.
Engineer Norvin Ymbong, the project manager of CBRT, acknowledged that using the traditional route is still possible, but the issue lies in the segregators that restrict the movement of devotees.
The warning came as Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama remains adamant in his decision to retain the old route for the foot processions during the Fiesta Señor.
Ymbong said that while using the old route is possible, the segregators restricting the movement of the people may pose some problems like a stampede.
