Getting ready for Simbang Gabi

Workers put Christmas decorations inside Manila Cathedral in Intramuros on Friday, a few days before the start of the traditional Simbang Gabi. The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines is making adjustments to Simbang Gabi due to COVID-19 restrictions, allowing evening Masses to start as early as 6 p.m.
