With the culmination of the Feast of the Black Nazarene happening on Thursday, Jan 9, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) finally presented a more accurate map of the procession route. You see, up until this morning, the MMDA was still sharing a map that had MacArthur Bridge on the route.
We would have liked to share the MMDA map, but it’s kind of hard to read it. Nevertheless, you can click this link to check it out.
Fortunately, we found a map that was much better executed (light years better, really) on Inquirer.net. See below:

“The religious rite will start with a mass at 6am at the Quirino Grandstand celebrated by Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle. After the mass, the procession will start at the Quirino Grandstand, then left to Katigbak Drive through Padre Burgos Street, left to Taft Avenue, and then to Jones Bridge instead of MacArthur Bridge,” reports Nestor Corrales on Inquirer.net
The report went on to detail the rest of the route:
The procession will then turn right to Escolta, then turn right along Palanca Street which is below Quezon bridge, then left to Quezon Boulevard.
It will then pass through the narrow roads of Quiapo starting turning right to Arlegui Street, right to Fraternal Street, right to Vergara Street, and left to Duque de Alba Street.
From there, it will turn left to Castillejos Street, left to Farnecio Street, and right to Arlegui Street.
Then it will turn left to Nepomuceno Street, left to Aguila Street, right to Carcer Street, right to Hidalgo Street towards Plaza del Carmen, turn left to Bilibid Viejo through Puyat Street, left to Guzman Street, right to Hidalgo Street, then left to Barbosa Street, right to Globo de Oro Street through under Quezon bridge, then right to Palanca Street, right toVillalobos Street, and then back to Plaza Miranda.
