01:41Some of our countrymen have been able to make ends meet by eating their daily meals
01:46by going back to Metro Manila.
01:49Just like Ms. Elizabeth, a 25-year-old caretaker of the cemeteries here in St. Philippe Catholic Cemetery.
01:56She pays P300 for each cemetery.
02:00That's enough to cover their expenses.
02:03In the morning, I clean at 2 a.m.
02:07In the evening, I clean until 11 or 12 p.m.
02:11We clean every day.
02:14This is what I do for my son. I open the cemeteries so that I can pay.
02:17This is what I provide for my son. He's my only son.
02:20That's enough for what you earn here.
02:23I'm okay with food, gas, and cows.
