Despite the enhanced community quarantine being implemented in Luzon to combat COVID-19, some devotees still went to Quiapo Church on Friday, according to Mai Bermudez's report on Unang Balita.

The report said some of the devotees prayed for the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Nagpapasalamat pa rin po ako sa Panginoon, lalo na po kay Nazareno po kasi napakabuti po niya, lagi kami may blessing sa pang-araw-araw," said Ariel Ebale, a devotee.

"Nawa'y maging matatag pa rin ako sa pinagdadaanan na virus na ito," said Margie Penalosa, another devotee.

Before 5 a.m., a Mass was held at the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene although the traditional "pahalik" was scrapped as devotees were not allowed to enter the church's premises.

Masses at the church could be viewed online. --KBK, GMA News
