00:00In the prayer and lighting of the candle,
00:03some of the Kamarine Sur members
00:06remember those who have passed away.
00:09It's hard to visit the graves of those who drowned
00:14in the flooded Baywang.
00:16Ian Cruz was one of them.
00:21In this cemetery in Minalaba, Kamarine Sur,
00:24we met this man
00:26who was involved in cleaning the graves of his loved ones.
00:29He was also involved in cleaning the water in the cemetery.
00:32When the man went down,
00:34we only found out that the water in that area was up to Baywang.
00:38It's cloudy now, but this portion of Minalabak Cemetery,
00:42as you can see,
00:43there are almost no people here because the flood is still high.
00:46The residents said,
00:48and we can also see the gaps here,
00:50the flood water is really high.
00:53It went here, but it's been more than a week
00:56that the water in this area is still up to Baywang.
00:59That's why Mang Dominador
01:01was forced to visit the grave of his loved ones.
01:04I really can't do it.
01:05There's still water up to this point.
01:09Some people just left the candle lit,
01:12while others,
01:13in the other side of the cemetery,
01:16lit the candle
01:18for their loved ones.
01:20So that we can remember the four grandfathers
01:24and our grandfathers,
01:25so that we can remember them.
01:28Ms. Emma is from Cavite
01:31and was happy to be home in Minalabak.
01:33She placed a sandbag around the cemetery of her family
01:37so that they won't get wet from the flood,
01:39especially the siblings.
01:40My siblings got injured
01:43because the flood was more than a week ago.
01:45They needed to be placed there.
01:47In the town of Milaor,
01:49there's no more water left.
01:51That's why many people left the cemetery.
01:54While others took the opportunity to clean up.
01:58But Ms. Beatriz
01:59just kept looking at the direction of the cemetery of her parents.
02:03What's important is that she came to the cemetery
02:06to remember her loved ones.
02:09That's a good thing.
02:11I might slip and get old.
02:13I might get sick and end up in the hospital.
