In a report submitted to Mayor Herbert Bautista, QC Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (QCDRRMC) action officer Elmo San Diego said that the city’s rescue team deployed near the Apostolic Nunciature during the five-day event had responded to some 90 medical cases, majority of which involved devotees who suffered from dizziness, elevated blood pressure, hypothermia and other minor injuries.

Two QC ambulances were used in transporting those needing hospitalization.

The city’s rescue team was composed of personnel from the search and rescue unit of the department of public order and safety and the QC Fire Department.
