00:00In Manila South Cemetery, a lot of families came to pray for their loved ones.
00:05This is the story of Bernard Ferreira.
00:10The Mir family is now in a hurry to visit Manila South Cemetery to pray.
00:15They have been instructed to watch over their loved ones from November 1 to November 3.
00:22Their priority in their mausoleum are their parents, siblings, grandparents, and other loved ones.
00:29For her, it's a special day.
00:32Of course, it's for our parents.
00:34Because we have already given our parents, our grandparents, and our grandfathers.
00:39It's a family bonding if you will, for them to visit their grandparents.
00:44In fact, they came from Saluwan, Ilocos Sur because they visited their loved ones.
00:50Even if they are already dead, you need to remember them.
00:54Our saying is, if we don't look after our loved ones, they will be sad up there.
01:03The Philippine National Police continues to watch over the cemetery
01:06along with other government agencies, including Manila and Makati LGUs.
01:12They confiscate pointed objects, alcoholic drinks, cigarettes, lighters, and drugs.
01:18The Manila Department of Social Welfare immediately collects those who have children to put a name tag.
01:24Some senior citizens also joined the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.
01:31Candles and flowers can also be bought from some stone cemeteries.
01:35But some sellers say that their sales are higher than today.
01:40The Manila Department of Public Services also carries garbage to keep the cemetery clean.
