00:00There is no burial happening every night in this cemetery in Noveleta, Cavite
00:05because compared to other places, it seems like there are more garbage being dumped here.
00:11That's why even the dead are probably suffering from this problem.
00:17A complaint was sent to Raracibo, a few residents of Noveleta, Cavite.
00:22They said that their cemetery is already flooded.
00:26It's almost like a garbage dump.
00:28This is where all the garbage is dumped.
00:30You can't go to other places.
00:32It's not right to make this Noveleta Public Cemetery a garbage dump.
00:35The residents of Noveleta, Cavite should be blamed
00:38because it seems like there are more garbage being dumped here.
00:41That's why the dead are being taken to other cemeteries that are almost flooded.
00:47This is a dump site.
00:50Maybe the dead woke up to complain about this dump, ma'am sir.
00:57One of the residents of Noveleta, Aling Mele, 67 years old,
01:02died in 2018.
01:04She was 43 years old when she died.
01:07I feel bad.
01:09It's just near you.
01:11It's like you're dragging her.
01:13I can't drag her anymore.
01:16But in 2022, her husband's cemetery started to become a garbage dump.
01:21The people who pass by will say that the dead are pitiful
01:27because there's a lot of garbage and the smell is different from the rest.
01:34August 8, 2024.
01:36On the day of the funeral,
01:38Aling Mele visited her ex-husband.
01:42This was her first visit after more than a month.
01:46But when she arrived at the cemetery,
01:48Aling Mele was greeted by a lot of garbage in front of Romy's house.
01:53We're just trying to pass by.
01:56There's no way.
01:58You can't get in.
02:00Sometimes there's a dead dog.
02:02There's a dead heart.
02:04So you can't last long.
02:05At first glance, you'd think it's a legitimate garbage site
02:11or a garbage dump.
02:12This place was found in a barangay in Noveleta, Cavite.
02:18There are structures in the back.
02:21Those are the nitsos or moseleyos of our fellow countrymen.
02:26And how can you go to the dead
02:30if you're going to pass by a mountain of garbage like this?
02:34Here, too, is a garbage dump.
02:36Old and broken shoes,
02:38rotten food,
02:40and the gula-gula nits of Tetrapak.
02:43And what's left of the garbage that rests here
02:47is the sound of the bangaw.
02:50A few moments later,
02:52a man came to throw two bags of garbage.
02:55What did you bring?
02:57Garbage from our house.
02:59Why do you throw garbage here?
03:01Because this is where everyone throws garbage.
03:05This is the only place where I know how to throw garbage.
03:08Does anyone throw garbage in your truck?
03:10No one.
03:11There used to be someone.
03:13How long has it been since someone threw garbage in your truck?
03:16About two years, I think.
03:20Residents were waiting for a receipt
03:22to see if it's true that garbage is being thrown here.
03:25Until around 8 p.m.,
03:27trucks, bicycles, and sidecars entered the cemetery.
03:34All of these trucks were loaded with garbage.
03:39When they came out after a few moments,
03:41Wow!
03:42Magic!
03:44All of their loaded garbage was gone
03:46when they entered the cemetery.
