00:06I'm Mary Ann Bastasa of Radyo Pilipinas for Balitang Pambansa Live.
00:12Naomi, at 8 a.m. this morning, Bagbag Public Cemetery was opened to the public here in Novalichia, Quezon City
00:19for those who will visit their loved ones this morning.
00:23This cemetery was opened early because this is a common situation when it's November 1.
00:30Most of the visitors, their families, like Nana Evangeline,
00:34were with their small child earlier.
00:36There was no problem because they only visit their loved ones once in a while.
00:43As of 7 a.m., the crowd estimate here in Bagbag Public Cemetery is around 3,000.
00:49The security here is tight.
00:52At the top of the cemetery, inspectors are on duty to inspect the items and the people who enter.
00:58There is also a presence of the police and the police assistance desk.
01:02The situation is good and peaceful.
01:04Although there are many people who confessed even though it's still early.
01:08There are also those who smoke and vape.
01:12To those who will visit here, don't forget your umbrellas and handkerchiefs
01:16because the time is tight even though it's still early.
01:20For those who are not familiar with the location of their loved ones' cemeteries,
01:24you can go to the admin office which is just next to the entrance.
01:28There are also medical assistance desks during emergency times.
01:33The leadership of Bagbag Public Cemetery expects that the number of people who will visit here will increase
01:38to more than 150,000 to 180,000 during the pandemic.
01:44From Radyo Pilipinas, Mary Ann Bastasa for Pambansang Balit ng Pambansa.
01:49Thank you very much, Mary Ann Bastasa.
