00:00More than 100,000 people visited today in one of the largest and oldest cemeteries in the Philippines,
00:08the Manila North Cemetery.
00:10Despite the repeated reminders of what is prohibited to enter the cemetery,
00:15authorities still confiscated a lot of items.
00:20Here is the report.
00:23Last year, 900,000 people visited the Manila North Cemetery from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2.
00:32Now, the authorities are hoping that this number will increase due to the longer visiting hours.
00:40Previously, the schedule was from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m.
00:43Now, the closing time was extended to 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
00:48But until now, not a lot of people have visited.
00:52Compared to the same schedule and time last year,
00:57if you can see the situation here in the Manila North Cemetery,
01:00not a lot of people have visited yet.
01:02This is what the authorities of the cemetery are saying.
01:05Maybe our fellow citizens really intended to visit tomorrow, Nov. 1.
01:10Or maybe some are afraid that it will rain due to the typhoon Leon.
01:17But even though not a lot of people have visited,
01:20the EV carousel is already activated.
01:23The free ride will enter and exit the cemetery.
01:27Some have chosen to visit their relatives while there are still few people.
01:32They will postpone the holiday tomorrow so that they can rest.
01:37I don't want to go with a lot of people.
01:40It's hard to go with a lot of people.
01:42But before, we used to go first.
01:45Now, we will go in the morning.
01:47Because we thought that there will be a lot of rain.
01:50There were a lot of people.
01:52We were tired.
01:55I was high-blooded at that time.
01:59I was high-blooded, sir.
02:01Every year, the authorities are reminding us again and again
02:04what are the prohibited things to bring.
02:06But why is it that until now,
02:08there are still a lot of people visiting?
02:12There are a lot of visitors.
02:13What are the prohibited things that you brought?
02:16Perfume, lighter, radio, vape.
02:20Vape, sir.
02:21Vape? Even vape?
02:22Yes, sir.
02:23Okay.
02:26This man was able to enter the gate,
02:28the prohibited things that he brought.
02:30But when he went inside, he was caught by the Manila SWAT.
02:35And as a solution to the problem of looking for missing children,
02:39the Social Welfare Office ordered the identification of the children.
02:46Here, the children are brought along with their parents.
02:52I will list the details of the children on this paper, on the log sheet.
02:57And there is a gift that looks like a sticker stub,
03:03the MSWDO.
03:05Let's ask what this is for.
03:06Sir, what are the gifts you are giving?
03:08What we are giving is for the children,
03:11so that if they get lost, they can come to us for help.
