00:00 The Cabrigas family has been helping each other to finish painting the graves of five of their deceased relatives.
00:09 It was only allowed until Wednesday afternoon at Manila North Cemetery.
00:14 It was not a coincidence that the Petronilo family did not do it.
00:18 That is the only thing we can help them with.
00:21 Because we know that we are not with them anymore, even if that is our gift to them.
00:29 The family's only income is from cleaning the grave of Dominic, a caretaker.
00:34 The amount of money he earned yesterday is equivalent to the amount he earned in the last few weeks.
00:40 He can only earn around P700.
00:44 It is still a lot.
00:46 If you don't work outside, you are not sure if you can earn money every day.
00:54 Anna Lynn's sales of flowers and candles are still steady.
00:59 But the price of flowers has already risen, maybe even more so next week.
01:04 One bouquet is already P50 from P35 and the difference in flower arrangements is P50.
01:13 According to the director of Manila North Cemetery, Rosel Castaneda,
01:17 the funeral is expected to start on October 30.
01:22 It is possible to reach one million or more on November 1,
01:26 especially if these people are together in the barangay and SK Elections.
01:31 Security is even tighter.
01:34 More than 350 police personnel will be deployed in Ondas.
01:38 It is still prohibited to bring these things to the cemetery.
01:42 No pets are allowed and vehicles will not be allowed to enter even if the bikes are there.
01:49 We are provided with a free ride here.
01:54 We have an e-trike here that can be used by PWD, senior citizens, pregnant women.
02:01 The drivers are asked to bring food and drink and if possible,
02:06 to leave a garbage bag to avoid spreading.
02:09 It is also said to be more careful, especially if there is a child with you.
02:13 Visitors can visit the Manila North Cemetery from October 30 to November 2.
02:21 If you can reach here at 5 p.m., you will be allowed to enter.
02:28 You will be given a lead time of 1 to 2 hours because the cemetery will be closed at 7 p.m.
02:36 Meanwhile, the time of visiting San Juan Cemetery has been extended from Saturday.
02:42 It is open to the public from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.
02:47 Up to 10,000 people are expected to visit the cemetery in the next few days.
02:53 We also have a set up of selling area for food, candle, flowers.
02:59 The only ones who need to sell are those who have received the Mayor's Permit.
03:04 So, only a few people can sell here.
