A fluvial procession for Nuestra Señora de Peñafrancia in Naga City draws an estimated 1.2 million devotees and ends peacefully, according to local authorities. The event proceeds with an adjusted schedule and is held in the evening for the first time this year, as officials respond to conditions affecting the Naga River.
Both outlets report that low water levels and delays tied to tide conditions require changes to the procession’s timing. The Incident Management Team and Naga local government describe the crowd turnout as about 1.2 million people. They attribute the smooth outcome to coordination among police, local government units, government agencies, volunteers, and other stakeholders.
While one report emphasizes that the procession concludes peacefully and highlights the role of coordinated security and logistics, the other focuses more on the Naga LGU’s statement about attendance and the disruption caused by low tide. Neither outlet cites major incidents or disturbances during the event.
