TFC UNFOLDS THE MYSTERY BEHIND THE BLACK NAZARENE IN “PATROL NG PILIPINO”

A year won’t pass in the Philippines without a million of Filipinos gathering at the Quiapo Church for the Feast of the Black Nazarene.

The devotees, all praying for a miracle, don’t mind the heat, the crowd, and the possible danger for a chance to touch or at least get close to the Nazarene.

Find out the stories behind the news with Chiara Zambrano and Jorge Cariño in “Patrol ng Pilipino” on The Filipino Channel (TFC).
