00:00 We are back here at Manila North Cemetery where today is the day of the gradual decrease of the number of our fellow countrymen who are visiting their loved ones here at Manila North Cemetery.
00:15 As you can see, the entrance is already well-placed. There are separate entrances for men, women, priority lanes, and lanes for those who do not have luggage.
00:30 As we have mentioned, we are not allowed to bring anything. We are not allowed to bring anything that is not allowed, such as things that are not allowed, drunken drinks, sound systems, and other items that are not allowed.
00:46 There are 300 police officers stationed inside and around Manila North Cemetery to assist in the security and peace of the cemetery.
00:56 We are also calling for force multipliers, such as barangay officials, Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau officials, and we have also seen the Manila Fire Protection Bureau officials, and city hall officials to assist in the security and peace of Manila North Cemetery.
01:18 As you can see, we have our fellow countrymen.
01:34 We also have with us this morning, Yuri Navera from the Administration Office of Manila North Cemetery.
01:43 Good morning. So far, how many people have been monitored in the last two days? I understand that there are already visitors in October 29.
01:53 Last October 29, sir, there were more than 5,000 visitors to Manila. Yesterday, there were almost 7,000.
02:03 So, the number of visitors is lower than the previous day, right? Yes, sir.
02:08 But, do we have any expectation of numbers based on yearly data?
02:15 Maybe, sir, as the season approaches, there will be more visitors. Because tomorrow is the actual season.
02:25 And it's also good because the weather is good. Since yesterday, it hasn't rained. And now, it seems that the sky is also clear and our fellow countrymen have plenty of time and opportunity to visit.
02:35 Maybe, sir, to remind you, what are our fellow countrymen expecting inside? I saw earlier that even bicycles are prohibited. All kinds of vehicles are prohibited.
02:43 I also ask for the call to the visitors to Manila North Cemetery. If possible, don't bring things that are prohibited, such as perfume, things that can be used as a knife, etc.
02:57 Even perfume is prohibited? Yes, sir. Why is perfume prohibited?
03:01 Because, sir, it might get in the perfume. That's why they put alcohol in it.
03:06 Ah, even bottles of perfume. Okay. You also mentioned that you might be hungry inside because they can't buy anything inside.
03:14 You can't buy anything inside because there are really zero vendors inside.
03:18 Okay. We have people who pass by there, those who are over-the-bucket. Is this what the government did here?
03:25 Yes, sir. On behalf of Director Yayay, sir, Director Yayay really ensured that the last person is monitored.
03:33 Because there, there are costs of carrying and short-distance transportation. That's why people are getting cold.
03:39 Okay. While our fellow countrymen are getting wet, let's hurry to remind them.
03:45 The common problem here after the funeral is garbage. Yes, sir.
03:49 What will you do? I also call on the people who will come to Manila North Cemetery.
03:53 If possible, bring your garbage bag, trash bag, so that you can also help inside.
04:01 Because there are 1 million people inside. Yes, sir.
04:03 It's not fun to leave garbage.
04:05 Because last year, we also covered this. There are trash trucks.
04:10 And the garbage collectors are also pitiful.
04:13 Okay. Anyway, thank you very much, Yuri. Thank you.
04:16 Thank you, sir.
04:17 Yuri Naveran is the Director of Manila North Cemetery.
04:21 And as you can see, Manila North Cemetery is ready for the funeral of our fellow countrymen for the funeral.
04:31 Meanwhile, let's go back to the studio.
