00:00At the same time, as the weather gets better, tourists are expecting to visit Baguio City for a long weekend.
00:07The security is tight in the streets and in the cemeteries.

00:20Emil, many tourists chose to visit Baguio City to enjoy the long weekend.
00:30The PNP went early to inspect the flower markets in Malcolm Square in Baguio City.
00:36Only a few people are buying now.
00:39The businessmen are trying to avoid the heavy sales even if the prices of the flowers are going down.
00:45Some of us are returning to what we bought from the farmers.
00:52It's a waste if it's this good, just throw it away after the sale.
00:57In the cemeteries, some people arrived early.
01:00Pierre and his children went to the Baguio City Public Cemetery.
01:05It's only 7 in the morning.
01:07They traveled to avoid the traffic and to avoid the crowds.
01:11The rain was heavy yesterday.
01:13At the same time, as the weather gets better, more people are visiting the Public Cemetery.
01:18According to the Baguio City Police Office,
01:21more than 50,000 people are expected to visit the largest cemetery in the City of Pines.
01:28In order for people to enter quickly, aside from the entrance of women to men,
01:33a traffic scheme will also be implemented.
01:35Here in Naguilian Road, same as last year, we only placed a control point.
01:41Aside from Baguio City, the authorities also strictly monitor the 200 cemeteries in Cordillera Administrative Region.
01:49The authorities also monitor the roads.
01:51Compared to the past few days, there are more tourists according to the BCPO.
01:56It's possible that it will increase because it's a long weekend.
01:59The weather in Baguio is really visiting, it's not far.
02:02So we expect the usual number of visitors here by the thousand.
02:08These are friends from Negros who are with Baguio City for a long weekend to relax.
02:14Thankfully, the weather is good and Baguio is gone.
02:19Until now, the authorities have already issued a warning about the possible traffic build-up of vehicles this long weekend.
02:29According to the PNP, more tourists are expected to visit Baguio this weekend.
02:35Meanwhile, for those who will only visit the City of Pines,
02:39Marcos Highway and Naguilian Road are possible for all tourists.
02:43Emil?
02:48Thank you very much.
