00:00Even though it's night time and it's raining heavily in Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina,
00:05people still want to go to their loved ones' grave.
00:08By live report, I'm Vaughn Aquino, on...
00:15It's raining heavily for those who are visiting their loved ones' grave here in Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina.
00:22But despite that, there are still a lot of people who will spend the night here in the cemetery.
00:30Around 6 p.m. last night, cars were forced to enter Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina City
00:36because of a long line in a lane of El Bonifacio Avenue.
00:40Security was tight and they were forced to use cigarettes, playing cards, and lighters.
00:46There were police inside and outside the cemetery and there were also medics.
00:49There were families who planned to spend the night next to their loved ones' grave.
00:54We just set up a simple tent, a small tent.
00:57There were also chairs and food.
01:01It was like a time for the Christie family.
01:04This is where we get to see each other.
01:06We get to be together, not like when we don't have an occasion.
01:10When it rains, we go home.
01:14This cemetery is surrounded by Christmas lights.
01:18There are also flowers and candles in the cemetery of some famous personalities who are buried here,
01:23like GMA Integrated News anchor Mike Enriquez,
01:27Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago,
01:29and Master Rapper Francis M.
01:32It rained last night at 7 p.m. so the people who visited the cemetery were all alone.
01:37Ma'am, there were no untoward incidents since yesterday.
01:41As of now, I have not been allowed to use the lighters because
01:44in that area, where will they light the candles?
01:48Atom, as of 11 p.m., the crowd estimate of PNP is at 2,500 here in the cemetery.
01:58It's a good thing that the rain stopped here. Atom?
02:02Thank you very much, Vaughn Aquino.
