The Feast of the Black Nazarene (Filipino: Pista ng Itim na Nazareno), also known as the Traslación after the name of the grand procession associated with the observance, is a religious festival held in Manila, Philippines that is centered around the Black Nazarene, an image of Jesus Christ celebrated annually on January 9.
The Traslación of the Black Nazarene (commemorating the “solemn transfer” of the image’s copy from Intramuros to Quiapo) makes its way along the streets of Quiapo, with attendees reaching up to 220 thousand devotees.
Every year this religious event is being covered by country’s TV and Radio Broadcasting Networks using Contel’s 2-way trunked radios to ensure safety and security of the devotees while doing the uninterruptable live news reporting and not being affected by signal jammer.
