00:00We were able to reach 74-year-old Carmen and her grandson here at Tugatog Public Cemetery in Malabon.
00:10She was looking for the names of her deceased son and mother on the wall of remembrance of the cemetery
00:15where the names of those buried here in Tugatog should be engraved.
00:20She climbed the walls, but she couldn't see the son, Teresita Francisco, and the mother, Enriquita Hover.
00:27I cried. I cried. I couldn't see.
00:31Last year, she couldn't find the names of her relatives.
00:36The graves of the deceased were not buried here,
00:39but this monumental wall was built for two people while the Tugatog Public Cemetery was still under construction.
00:46Even if it's just a name, I don't know if it's there.
00:50Nothing.
00:52It doesn't matter.
00:55Even my mother. I couldn't see her.
00:58She didn't go near the help desks around the cemetery because she was shy.
01:03So we accompanied her to ask around the Malabon LGU offices.
01:07Before we closed, we got a call to apply for all the graves here
01:12because, in exhumed, the family should be able to declare how many graves they have.
01:19However, Carmen's mother didn't hear about the application,
01:23so she couldn't apply to include the names of her son and mother in the Wall of Remembrance.
01:29The Malabon LGU authorities found the names of Carmen's mother's relatives
01:33in their master list of exhumed graves, but there are still none.
01:38That's why it's possible that it's in another part of the cemetery that hasn't been redeveloped yet.
01:43There are still niches inside.
01:48It's possible that it's still there.
01:50What we need to know is, I advise you to fill out this form,
01:54and then we will ask the cemetery staff to look for it.
01:59While waiting for that, Carmen's mother threw a candle here in a common area
02:04for her loved ones.
02:07The Malabon LGU first announced that they are currently working
02:11on relocating the exhumed graves to new ossuaries and columbariums.
02:16They say they are grateful to the relatives of those buried here.
02:20It is still part of the redevelopment of the cemetery that started in 2021.
02:24For Ondas 2024, this well-known rebulto of a demon and San Miguel
02:29was temporarily removed in 2021 to give way to a redevelopment project
02:34here in Tugatog Public Cemetery.
02:36The revolt has been controversial for a long time
02:39and this demon is showing that the angel was drunk.
02:42For me, it would be better if it was brought back.
02:46Because it has been there for a long time.
02:49They said it was moving at night.
