00:00A flood reached Pasay City Cemetery in Gracia after it was swept away by a high tidal wave.
00:06In Manila South Cemetery, more than 100,000 people were affected, including children and senior citizens.
00:12Mark Salazar was there live.
00:19Emil, from 5 a.m. until now, more than 200,000 people have been affected in Manila South Cemetery.
00:27And that's lower than expected.
00:33Afternoon, floods began in Manila South Cemetery.
00:38Since 12 noon until 1 o'clock, the volume of people suddenly increased from 37,000 to 45,000.
00:46What time is it?
00:47We expect that between 2, 3, 4 p.m., the volume will increase.
00:53At 4 p.m., the number of people in the cemetery decreased.
00:59Children and senior citizens should be careful when entering the cemetery because there are too many people.
01:07And you can go to the left side to register the children to be given name tags.
01:13More than 2,000 children were registered at the entrance and some of them are praying in the cemetery.
01:20People can enter the cemetery easily, except if there is a confiscation happening at the gate.
01:25Alcohol, cigarettes, lighter, and other illegal things are strictly prohibited inside the cemetery.
01:33Thank you very much.
01:37The time is included, but just this afternoon, the number of people with high blood pressure, who are elderly, increased.
01:43According to our BP assessment, there are more people with BP than 170 plus.
01:49Most of them have high BP because of the high temperature.
01:53In Pasay City Cemetery, it is expected that not many people came.
01:58We were surprised because we just went there on November 1.
02:04We didn't have a hard time.
02:06It's normal. It's quiet as of now.
02:09There were no other incidents, except for a teenager who fell from the second level of the cemetery.
02:15He was up there. We were having an adventure.
02:18I told him to come down and we will eat first.
02:21When I got here, I heard a loud bang.
02:24The child was taken to the medical station of Red Cross.
02:29He was fighting.
02:33The head of Manila South Cemetery is expecting that the number of people who will come tomorrow will increase.
02:38These are the people who were really avoided.
02:43At this point, you can see that our countrymen are going home.
02:47Because they were warned earlier that the closure of the cemetery will be strictly enforced at 7pm.
02:54Emil?
02:56Yes.
03:00Thank you very much. Mark Salazar.
