Philippine Churches closes to the public during the most important liturgical part of the year amidst resurgence of the COVID-19 virus. The Philippine Government via the Inter Agency Task Force or IATF ordered closed all churches for religious gatherings amidst the resurgence of the COVID-19 virus after the Department of Health logged an all-time high new cases in the past days - higher than last year's peak.

The Archdiocese of Manila Apostolic Administrator Bishop Broderick Pabillo issued an Apostolic Instruction dated March 23, 2021 to maintain open public masses to 10% church capacity within the Archdiocese of Manila in defiance of the IATF Directive stating that there was no consultation done and it was against the policy of separation of the church and state. This created a clash with the government. The Apostolic Instructions however, was supplemented the following day that churches may reopen depending on the local parish priests and lay leaders.

In the video, people pray on the street, standing near the fence at the church. The church conducts online broadcasts and records broadcasts for the parishioners, the videos are edited directly in the church.
