00:00Mga Kapuso, we are still here at the entrance of Manila North Cemetery
00:05where as of 6 o'clock this morning,
00:08it's only been an hour since the cemetery opened.
00:11There are already 1,700 people who entered here
00:15based on the official number of the police.
00:18It is expected that this afternoon there will be up to 1 million people.
00:22Last year, it reached 930,000.
00:26But this year, it is expected to be more,
00:28especially with the good weather today.
00:32Yesterday, the crowd estimate of Manila Police reached 110,000
00:38here at Manila North Cemetery for the whole afternoon.
00:42And we are in a live situation.
00:44Let me just show you.
00:45There, our beloved Kapuso are already arriving
00:49here at Manila North Cemetery this afternoon.
00:52But just like what we see every year,
00:55even though there are reminders.
00:59In fact, what's annoying about the reminders of the prohibitions,
01:02here, the prohibitions are still here.
01:05Cigarettes are prohibited, lighters,
01:08cologne, perfumes are also prohibited
01:12because the explanation to us is that these are flammable.
01:16And of course, the police are being careful.
01:18It can explode, it can burn.
01:20So just avoid those dangers.
01:22Here, we can see that on this line,
01:25there are a lot of people who have been hit by lighters and cigarettes.
01:30There, there are a lot.
01:32We can see that our Kapusos are increasing
01:35who are entering Manila North Cemetery.
01:39There, they have their own picnic.
01:42Oh, they brought rice.
01:43There, it looks like they will have a picnic here.
01:45You know, this is the day of Undas.
01:47This is common, it's like a reunion.
01:50But of course, let's maintain the solemnness of this day
01:56because this is a reminder to our loved ones.
02:01Later, we will talk to Manila Police District Director,
02:06Brigadier General Tom Ibai,
02:09who is in charge of the security arrangements of the police
02:13here in Manila North Cemetery
02:14because there are a lot of people who are expected to be hospitalized here.
02:17So security here in Manila North Cemetery really needs to be tightened.
