00:00We are still here at Manila North Cemetery, one of the oldest and biggest cemeteries in the country.
00:07In this short time, it's past 7 in the morning, we can see the situation.
00:13It's still small, only a few of our countrymen are coming here to the cemetery.
00:19There are more security personnel inspecting their equipment for entering the cemetery.
00:26Based on our experience, it's still early, so our countrymen will arrive around 10 am.
00:35Until the afternoon, our countrymen will arrive here.
00:39According to the government, it is expected that up to half a million of our countrymen will arrive here
00:46at Manila North Cemetery to visit their loved ones.
00:50Manila North Cemetery is providing a lot of services to make it more comfortable for our countrymen to visit their loved ones.
00:58For example, these portalets, from 1972 until now, there are 82 portalets that they have placed in strategic areas.
01:07So that if there is an earthquake or a call of nature, they will be able to go there immediately.
01:14And for e-trikes like this one, there are 40 e-trikes inside, 4 e-trikes inside and 5 outside at the road closures.
01:24We were greeted by a passenger.
01:26Ma'am, I'll just ask you first, good morning to you.
01:30I just want to know your name.
01:32Edna Rea Lui.
01:33Okay, how old are you?
01:35I'm 65.
01:36So you're a senior.
01:37Alright, what can you tell us about these e-trikes?
01:41This is a big help because like us seniors, we can't even walk, we still have a long way to go.
01:49Alright, how far are you from your seniors?
01:52We're from Fernando.
01:53Ah, that's a bit far, that's at the end.
01:56Who are we bringing? Let's let them in first.
01:59Good morning.
02:00Good morning.
02:01Mother and Father.
02:03It's really your tradition that you come here every evening.
02:06Yes, it's yearly.
02:07Not on November 1.
02:08Because there are a lot of people.
02:11It's hard to talk to seniors.
02:16You might get left behind by the e-trikes.
02:20I love you too.
02:21Thank you so much.
02:22Be careful when you bring your loved ones.
02:25Be careful.
02:26Dear passengers, those who ride the e-trikes, like I said, there are 40 e-trikes.
02:31There are also 8 wheelchairs inside.
02:33Political tarpaulins are also not allowed to be placed inside the cemetery.
02:40That's the latest situation from Mandela North Cemetery.
02:44Back to the studio.
