01:09 Until November 2 at 5 a.m. The cemetery is open until 5 p.m.
01:15 Yesterday, 8,000 people visited Manila South Cemetery and maybe fewer today because of the election.
01:22 But the government expects that it will reach pre-pandemic levels until November 2 because there are no COVID restrictions.

01:47 There are wheelchairs and free rides.
01:49 Starting tomorrow, a shuttle will enter the cemetery for PWD, senior citizens, and volunteers.
01:55 There are also police and first aid stations scattered in the cemetery.
01:59 Although the places in Makati are being visited, Manila is the one that is included in the South Cemetery.
02:05 If you are feeling something, please remember not to force yourself to visit.
02:12 We should still wear face masks.
02:14 And we should not bring prohibited items because our security is tight.
