The reblocking and repairs will start from 11 p.m. on March 29 (Friday) until 5 a.m. on April 1 (Monday). These main thoroughfares are as follows:
- Taft Ave. cor. Pedro Gil (second lane) in Manila City
- Edsa southbound J.P. Rizal Ave. to Orense 3rd Lane from the sidewalk in Makati City

Holy Week is the most solemn period in the Catholic Church’s liturgical calendar when Christians commemorate the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ over 2,000 years ago.
However, many Filipinos also use this as a break for revelry as they return to their provinces and visit tourist destinations.
