00:00Baka Puso, we're back here at Manila North Cemetery, where while the sun is rising, it's going to cool down.
00:07Our Baka Puso are here with their loved ones, as of 7 o'clock this morning, the crowd estimate of Manila Police District has reached 20,000.
00:20That was a very quick jump, because the 6 a.m. estimate earlier was around 3,000, but now it's 20,000.
00:30And while the sun is rising, it's expected that more and more people will descend here at Manila North Cemetery.
00:36Because of the extended hours, until 7 o'clock this evening, 1 million people will be going to Manila North Cemetery today.
00:45There, we can see the entrance, the tight security that our police is enforcing.
00:52Here behind me, that's the free ride.
00:55It's an e-trike service for senior citizens and those who are having a hard time walking.
01:01They are calling out to those who can walk, just walk and give priority to the senior citizens in using this e-trike
01:10to enter the cemetery and go to their graves.
01:15At this point, let's talk to one of the people we know who will be coming here this morning. Good morning.
01:21Good morning.
01:22You are?
01:23I'm Gloria. I'm from Tundo, Manila.
01:25Ms. Gloria, how was your trip here? We have a lot of road closers.
01:29The ride to here is free.
01:32Did you also use an e-trike?
01:34No, just a jeep.
01:35Oh, a jeep. That's okay. We didn't have any problems.
01:37No, we didn't.
01:38Who are we bringing here?
01:39Our parents and our siblings.
01:43Is this the year you didn't use an e-trike?
01:45No.
01:46And you are really here on November 1st?
01:48Yes.
01:49Why? What is the importance of this day for you?
01:51Because it's like a reunion of my siblings, my other siblings.
01:56But you are not allowed to party, okay? You are not allowed to make noise.
01:58No. We are just letting them breathe.
02:00Ah, okay, okay.
02:01So, you can still use an e-trike? You're just going to walk?
02:05E-trike.
02:06E-trike.
02:07I'm a senior now.
02:08Ah, you're a senior. But you're still groovy.
02:11Thank you very much, Gloria.
