00:00 We will now go to Manila South Cemetery where even though it was flooded and there was a lot of sugar in the ground, the visitors were not able to reach their loved ones.
00:08 We will be talking live with Ian Cruz. Ian.
00:12 Yes Emil, there was a 1-hour curfew. Instead of 5 p.m., the gate of Manila South Cemetery was closed at 6 p.m.
00:24 At the last minute, 450,000 people came to Manila Police Station 6 yesterday.
00:32 It is proven that the flood of Manila South Cemetery is due to the need to give to those who clean the ground.
00:45 Aside from the sugar, but Mario did not blame the loved ones.
00:53 It's hard sir. It's hard.
00:55 Then, deep in the water.
00:58 How deep?
01:00 Up to here. 20.
01:03 Those who don't want to get wet, came from the high-rises.
01:09 But Angelo is used to it because the ground of his relative's house is already flooded even when he was young.
01:14 Although he hopes to raise the ground of his relative's house.
01:18 He said that when he cleaned here, there were some ants. They said that they were coming out at 6 p.m.
01:25 The rain was pouring down and there was no heat.
01:29 Some were still tired from the long walk, so they got a blood pressure check.
01:34 From outside, there were people who were bringing senior citizens and persons with disabilities to ride wheelchairs
01:42 from Makati City Hall because the streets around Manila South Cemetery are full of people.
01:48 But inside, Manila LGU is officially bringing people to the wheelchairs.
01:55 There are also electric vehicles that are free to ride for those who have difficulty walking.
02:01 Because there are a lot of people coming, there are two steel bridges that will enter the cemetery.
02:06 One is on the side of Calean Avenue and the other is on Metropolitan Avenue.
02:11 We will be in a long line. It will be hard for people to get in.
02:15 So that's why we made a backup plan.
02:17 Before entering the gate, it is prohibited to take pictures of the objects such as cigarette butts, lighters, and pointed objects.
02:26 The age of the person below is still being registered as well as their guardian's contact number.
02:33 The food sold in the cemetery is also prohibited.
02:37 Because one of the factors is that there is always a lot of traffic and it also affects the flow of food traffic.
02:45 The last two minutes of the basketball game is the chase of the people in Manila South Cemetery.
02:54 It will take a few minutes before the gate closes at 5 p.m.
03:03 But as a consideration, because it is raining, the entrance of the gate is extended until 1 p.m.
03:10 But it can also be inside until 7 p.m.
03:13 Emil, in these few minutes, the exit of our fellow citizens is still being held inside the cemetery.
03:25 And for those who are not here today, they still have a chance because tomorrow, from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., Manila South Cemetery will be reopened.
03:34 Back to you, Emil.
03:35 Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
