Manuel V. Pangilinan-led Manila Electric Company (Meralco) conducts wire clearing operations in the streets of Quiapo, Manila days ahead of the Feast of Jesus Nazareno on January 9, 2025, when millions of Catholic devotees are expected to gather in the area.
As shown in the photo, Meralco personnel raised sagging cables and checked the integrity of the poles along Conception Aguila Street for a safe and orderly procession of the carriage of the Jesus Nazareno image.
“The annual Traslacion is one of the biggest religious gatherings that draws millions of Filipinos in Quiapo. Prioritizing public safety, Meralco has collaborated with the Manila City government to carry out operations that will ensure everyone’s safety,” Meralco Vice President and Head of Corporate Communications Joe R. Zaldarriaga said.
Meralco continuously conducts its Anti-Urban Blight Program within its franchise area as part of its commitment to promote public safety, while delivering reliable and continuous electricity service for its customers
