MMDA chairman Romando Artes said to manage traffic and assist motorists, a total of 162 MMDA traffic personnel will be deployed in the affected areas.
The agency will also dispatch first aid responders and ambulances to respond to emergencies; and put up barricades and road signages, plastic barriers, and traffic cones to guide the motorists.
Members of the Metro Parkways Clearing Group together with the Manila City Department of Services (DPS) will be in charge of cleaning and clearing of clutters after the activity.
In 1978, Bro. Eddie Villanueva founded the Jesus is Lord Fellowship (JIL) as a professor of Economics at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
His ministry, which began with 15 students, has since spread the word of Christ to hundreds of thousands. JIL’s membership has expanded to over 60 countries, with chapters in Europe, Australia, the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, and other Asian countries.
The organization also reaches millions of followers through television networks, radio stations, literature, video ministries, social media platforms, I-Care, and JIL Christian School campuses.
