The local government unit of Quezon City released alternate routes for motorists ahead of the Metro Manila Film Festival 2022‘s “Parade of Stars” featuring floats of actors from the movie entries.
The parade will happen on December 21, Wednesday at 4 p.m., but certain roads will be closed an hour before.
The Quezon City LGU said it would close access to the westbound direction of E. Rodriguez, from D. Tuazon to Mabuhay Rotonda starting 3 p.m. It will open to the public once the floats passed by.
It also advised motorists to avoid E. Rodriguez Avenue from Banawe to Mabuhay Rotonda on the night of December 20, Tuesday, since this will be the staging area for the parade floats.
The parade will kick off from the Mabuhay Rotonda, traverse Quezon Avenue and then stop at the Quezon Memorial Circle, where the main event will occur.
It will cover a distance of 7.36 kilometers and is expected to take a minimum of two hours and 30 minutes.
In line with this, the Quezon City LGU released infographics detailing the alternate routes motorists can take while the parade takes place.

“Dahil dito, asahan ang pagbagal ng daloy ng trapiko sa mga lugar at dagsa ng mga manonood. Pinapayuhan ang mga motorista na dumaan sa mga alternatibong ruta,” the LGU said.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, the organizer of the annual event, also released infographics on the traffic advisory on its Facebook page.
