Our Olympians have been the stuff of headlines these past few weeks, with several of our kababayans bringing home some silverware from the recent Paris 2024 Olympics. To celebrate their achievements, there will be a homecoming parade to be held later today in Manila City and Pasay City.
What does this all have to do with us, you might ask? Well, this grand parade will spell heavy traffic, of course. That’s why we’re here to inform all of you about the schedule and route of the parade so you’ll know which areas in the metro to avoid.
