00:00One of the biggest cemeteries here in Metro Manila and there's a surprise on the spot for Emil Sumangi.
00:14Emil!
00:21Rafi, good afternoon.
00:23Let's set aside some time here in Manila North Cemetery.
00:26The sun is shining brightly and if you can see behind me, the main entrance and main exit of the cemetery.
00:35Most of our fellow countrymen have bats and weapons.
00:41It's a good time, Rafi, that our fellow countrymen are taking the time to visit Puntud ng Mga Yumao.
00:49Meanwhile, from my position, on my right is the command post of the Manila Police District.
00:55You can see their live feed and their widescreen TV where the number of our fellow countrymen who are entering the cemetery is registered.
01:13According to the information we received, as of 10.30 a.m.
01:1710.30 a.m., before we go to Papawid,
01:20Rafi, the number of people who are visiting Manila South Cemetery is now reaching 390,000.
01:29It is expected that the number of people who are visiting Manila South Cemetery will continue to increase during this time until afternoon.
01:37The construction of the cemetery will continue until 7 p.m.
01:44Later, the Manila North Cemetery will be opened.
01:47In the main gate, behind me, where the guards and police are stationed,
01:53there are a lot of prohibitions, Rafi, including the following,
01:58lighter, vape, cigarettes, perfumes, and other things.
02:05Rafi, vendors are also not allowed inside.
02:07That's why our fellow countrymen have discarded all the food that they will receive,
02:13even the things that they will need.
02:16Rafi, the Red Cross, LGU, and volunteer fire and rescue units are active in reminding those who are in need of medical response.
02:27One year ago, Rafi, we were also assigned here.
02:29The number of people who visited Manila North Cemetery is at 900,000.
02:35This year, it is expected that the number of people who will visit the cemetery will continue to increase
02:39because the visiting hours have been extended by two hours.
02:43Good news, there is no major untoward incident here in one of the largest and oldest cemeteries here in Metro Manila.
02:54Rafi, you mentioned that the visiting hours have been extended in Manila North Cemetery.
02:59What is the new schedule now?
03:01Okay, starting yesterday, October 31, Rafi, until tomorrow, November 2, Manila North Cemetery will open at 5 a.m.
03:15and it will be closed until 7 p.m.
03:18One year ago, Rafi, if you can remember, this cemetery was only open until 5 a.m.
03:24They extended the visiting hours by two hours because it is expected that the head of the cemetery will be the local government.
03:31It is said that more people will visit this cemetery
03:36so that our countrymen will be able to visit and have enough time for this day.
03:43But tomorrow, Rafi, let me clarify, All Souls Day, November 2, 5 a.m. to 7 p.m.
03:49are the visiting hours here in Manila North Cemetery.
03:52Rafi?
03:53Thank you very much, Emil Sumangil.
03:56More than 1,000 passengers are expected to arrive and catch a flight this weekend in Batangas Port.
04:03J.P. Soriano is on the spot again.
04:06J.P.?
04:08Rafi, our countrymen are still catching a flight here in Batangas Port
04:14to go to different provinces in Mindoro and other parts of Visayas and Romblon.
04:20But Rafi, we are seeing the most number of passengers going to Puerto Galera,
04:26which is one of the most famous beach resorts in the Philippines.
04:30The fast crafts in the port are already fully operational because the weather is nice.
04:35Some passengers going to Puerto Galera made early visits to their loved ones.
04:43Some passengers were surprised by the fewer number of passengers in Batangas Port now.
04:49According to Batangas Port, until 7 a.m.,
04:53only 3,000 passengers arrived at the passenger terminal.
04:58And today, they are expecting to add another 6,000 passengers.
05:04According to what we heard from the shipping companies,
05:08the risk of sales or sale of tickets is lower compared to the previous year, 2023.
05:14It is likely that there is an effect of the recent typhoons.
05:17The passengers decided not to continue their journey.
05:21Even so, Rafi, the departure of the fast crafts is still ongoing.
05:25According to the scheduled departure, even if it is not full, it will still follow the schedule.
05:31And Rafi, until this time, there is still no indication
05:35of what will be done to the damaged fuel tanker here in Batangas Port
05:45that was affected or damaged due to Hurricane Christine.
05:49And that is the latest.
05:50Let's go back to you, Rafi.
05:52You mentioned the damaged tanker.
05:54Does that have an effect on the operation of the port, JP?
06:01Well, according to the management of Batangas Port,
06:05there is no significant effect.
06:08But according to some passengers,
06:11they noticed that some ships were not able to dock and they were not able to board immediately.
06:18But according to the Philippine Coast Guard,
06:21they are now postponing the process of documents for the towing operation
06:28of the ship because it is said that it is urgent to leave
06:32so that it will be sure that it will not get in the way.
06:35For now, it's good that not that many passengers are coming here now,
06:40now that it is 2024, Rafi.
06:42You mentioned it.
06:43Again, for those who are chasing there,
06:44Batangas Port is spacious, JP.
06:47It will go to Occidental Mindoro.
06:53That's right, Rafi.
06:54So, for those who will go to Puerto Galera,
06:56the fast crafts are open.
06:57But if you will go to other parts of the province,
07:01the fast crafts here will leave even if the passengers are not full, Rafi.
07:06Thank you very much, JP Soriano.
07:57For the entire province of Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Cavite,
08:03Quezon, Batangas, Laguna, and Sor Sugon.
08:06Based on the data of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council,
08:11150 were killed due to Hurricane Christine.
08:15122 were injured and 30 were missing.
