00:00There are also people who will stay overnight at Manila Memorial Park in Parañaque.
00:04Some of them went there to visit their well-known personalities.
00:08We have a live report from Jamie Santos.
00:10Jamie.
00:15Atom, because this Manila Memorial Park in Parañaque is open 24 hours a day,
00:20some people will stay overnight here.
00:25Some visitors are ready to stay overnight here at Manila Memorial Park.
00:29They have tents and lawns.
00:31Aside from offering flowers and prayers to their loved ones,
00:35Ondas is also a time for some to get together from being busy with work.
00:41It's fun because we don't have to spend money.
00:43This is just for fun.
00:45It's like a family gathering in memory of our parents.
00:51The Aquino family is buried here.
00:53They are former Senators Noy, former President Cory, and their son, former President Noy Noy.
00:59Every year, I come here to visit them.
01:03We just want to visit the former president,
01:08the people who were part of the founding of our country.
01:13When you think that someone is still alive,
01:16and they became president again,
01:19I don't think we will experience that kind of hardship.
01:21The fans praised the actor, Riko Yan.
01:25It's fun because you can still see a lot of his fans,
01:28even if you know that he's the first one.
01:31According to the management of Manila Memorial Park,
01:34because Ondas is close to its weekend this year,
01:37they expect to reach one million visitors.
01:41They expect to reach one million visitors compared to 800,000 during Ondas 2023.
01:46We expect that not only 50 to 60 percent of the visitors will come overnight,
01:51but almost 200,000 will come in.
01:54Especially during the weekend.
01:55Yes ma'am, that's how it is.
01:57Some of them will be there from late at night until the end of Ondas.
02:04The traffic inside is heavy and the parking is difficult.
02:07That's why they are asking the residents who live near the Memorial Park
02:11not to bring their cars.
02:14Food and drinks are also sold in Mutsari.
02:17That's why it's okay not to bring a lot of visitors.
02:26ATO has a Medical Assistance Mobile and PNP Assistance Desk
02:30that is ready to assist the needs of the visitors here in Manila Memorial Park.
02:35That's the latest from Paranaque. Back to you, Atom.
02:38Thank you very much, Jamie Santos.
