00:04The latest on the spot by Darlene Cai.
00:07Darlene?
00:12Rafi, the number of people who will be going to the Manila South Cemetery
00:16to visit their loved ones is increasing.
00:19Based on the latest statistics of the police who are guarding this place,
00:23there are already more than 13,000 people inside the cemetery.
00:29But since 5 a.m. earlier this morning,
00:32more than 16,000 people have entered the cemetery.
00:38What you can see now is the main entrance
00:41where most people enter.
00:44What happens there at the entrance is that the rows of women and men are separated
00:51and their belongings are inspected.
00:54As of now, a lot of cigarettes and drugs have been confiscated.
00:59The police also confiscates vape or e-cigarettes.
01:02But there is a number that will be given, so it can be claimed when you go out.
01:06There are also some wallets that have been confiscated
01:08because it is now prohibited to clean here in the cemetery
01:10because the last day of cleaning was on October 25.
01:14Aside from those, it is also prohibited to bring in flammable materials,
01:18alcohol, sharp or sharp objects,
01:21and even pets are not allowed to be brought in.
01:25It is also not allowed to bring any type of vehicle inside,
01:28so only those who will enter the cemetery will walk in.
01:32But near the entrance, there are wheelchairs for elderly, senior citizens, and PWDs.
01:39There are also e-vehicles that can be driven freely from the entrance to enter the cemeteries.
01:45Aside from the main entrance, there are metal stairs on Kalayaan Avenue
01:49and on Metropolitan Avenue.
01:51Those who walk in can also enter there.
01:54Police are also watching and inspecting the items there
01:58to decongest or reduce the number of people who enter the main entrance.
02:04We talked to some of the visitors who brought food
02:08aside from flowers and candles.
02:10There are also relatives who are wearing the same T-shirt
02:15that has the faces of their loved ones.
02:19Here is our interview with the visitors.
02:25Of course, it is important to us because we don't see them anymore.
02:31We miss them.
02:33She likes this kind of T-shirt.
02:36When she died, we still carried her.
02:38She likes a lot of things.
02:40She also likes this. She will bring this whenever she goes to Ondas.
02:42Raffy, right now, the sun is very bright and the weather here in Manila South Cemetery is very hot.
02:58So, to our loved ones who are just arriving here,
03:02make sure to bring an umbrella and water
03:06and also to wear fresh clothes.
03:08That is the latest from Manila South Cemetery.
03:10Back to you, Raffy.
03:12Thank you very much, Darlene Cai.
