In a report by the Associated Press, officials estimate that at least 300 people fainted or got sick during the prayer vigil prior to the procession.
“Several others were injured when barefoot devotees surged forward and trampled over iron railings to try to touch the 404-year-old image of Christ,” the report added.
The report quoted police as saying the crowd gathering at Rizal Park has reached a million as 3,500 policemen secure the event.

No-sex zone threatened after Philippines scandal -- AFP Thursday January 6
MANILA (AFP) - – Philippine authorities may ban sex on the world-famous beaches of Boracay island after a television crew filmed two naked couples making out in public on New Year's Day, the local mayor said Thursday.
The clip showed one pair apparently having sex on the beach and the other locked in a passionate kiss in the water, with the woman's bare breasts clearly shown above the waterline.
The ABS-CBN television network said it filmed the apparently Western couples at 2:00 am on New Year's Day following a large beachside party on Boracay to usher in 2011.
"We're thinking of a 'no sex on the beach' (rule) so the other tourists would not be scandalised," John Yap, mayor of Malay town that has jurisdiction over Boracay, told ABS-CBN in an interview posted on its website this week.
Yap said authorities were aware of the sensitivities of the devoutly Roman Catholic nation.
"It's an isolated case and quite difficult to control but, if police had seen them, they would have been arrested for public scandal," he said.

Golden-Voiced Homeless Man Captivates Internet
Posted Tue Jan 4, 2011 12:17pm PST by Daniel Kreps in Amplifier
This clip speaks for itself -- literally. The Columbus Dispatch discovered a homeless man along Ohio's I-71 claiming to have "the God-given gift of voice," and what began as your everyday viral video has exploded into a life-changing experience for one man. Yesterday morning he was a panhandler; today he's the most in-demand voice personality in the world, thanks to offers from countless radio stations, voiceover gigs and even the Cleveland Cavaliers.
His name is Ted Williams, and he's an ex-radio announcer according to the note he scrawled on a piece of cardboard that he used to solicit change from drivers. And wow, does Williams ever deliver for a dollar. Williams tells the Dispatch about his struggles, but thankfully "alcohol and drugs and a few other things" haven't diminished Williams' velvety vocal cords, and he says he's two years clean now.
"I have a god given gift of voice. I'm an ex-radio announcer who has fallen on hard times. Please! Any help will be greatfully appreciated. Thank you and God bless. Happy holidays," reads Williams' roadside sign for help.
