The official 'dos and donts' for the Mass crowd
MANILA, Philippines - With millions expected to descend on Manila's Rizal Park for the final Mass on Pope Francis' trip to the Philippines, the government has put out a public service announcement on what people should do — and not do — to avoid getting hurt.
Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda unveiled a virtual laundry list of rules:
— Don't bring the elderly, pregnant women and children.
— No bomb jokes that may cause panic. No weapons of any kind.
— Don't wear jewelry or bring excessive money that can attract pickpockets.
— Bring food, water, personal medicines, raincoats, an ID — but NO umbrellas.
— Avoid bringing bags that will take a long time to inspect; best to use transparent plastic ones.
