According to the Quiapo Church command post, the number of devotees in Quiapo Church reached 564,200 as of 10 p.m., while 122,710 people flocked to Quirino Grandstand to attend “pagpupugay” before it was stopped by 7 p.m.

The last mass in Quiapo will be held by 11 p.m. but the church will be opened overnight for those who wish to stay and to pray.
