The said caption also read:
“Dalawang halik sa krus mo at nahawakan ko pa ang kamay mo. Ito ay isa sa pinaka kakaibang nagawa ko sa buong buhay ko. Natulala lang ako nung nasa taas ako habang naka tingin lang sayo at hindi na inda lahat ng sakit sa katawan bago sumampa.”
“Maraming salamat lahat salamat dahil hinayaan mo kong makalapit sayo Poong Nazareno. Mahal ka po namin 🙂 Salamat sa mga nakasama ko na tinulungan ako pag sampa sa mga taga Wagas Batang Ibarra. Sa mga kaibigan ko at syempre sa Daddy ko 😉” McCoy continued.
Manila Police District Director Chief Superintendent Joel Coronel confirmed the time and also the number of people who attended the said event.
“Based on our initial estimate beginning 4:57 am noong nag-start ‘yung procession in Quirino Grandstand and ending at 2:59 in the morning today, 6.314 million joined the procession alone.”
Albeit, the number didn’t include the participants of the 21 Masses held in the Quiapo Church and the number of people who heard the Mass and did the Pahalik at the Quirino Grandstand.
