00:00One of the biggest cemeteries here in Metro Manila and there's a surprise on the spot for Emil Sumangi.
00:14Emil!
00:21Rafi, good afternoon.
00:23Let's set aside some time here in Manila North Cemetery.
00:26The sun is shining brightly and if you can see behind me, the main entrance and main exit of the cemetery.
00:35Most of our fellow countrymen have bats and weapons.
00:41It's a good time, Rafi, that our fellow countrymen are taking the time to visit Puntud ng Mga Yumao.
00:49Meanwhile, from my position, on my right is the command post of the Manila Police District.
00:55You can see their live feed and their widescreen TV where the number of our fellow countrymen who are entering the cemetery is registered.
01:13According to the information we received, as of 10.30 a.m.
01:1710.30 a.m., before we go to Papawid, Rafi, the number of people visiting Manila North Cemetery is now at 390,000.
01:29It is expected that the number of people visiting Manila North Cemetery will continue at this time until afternoon.
01:37It is expected that the number of people visiting Manila North Cemetery will continue at this time until afternoon.
01:47In the main gate behind me, where the guards and police are stationed, there are a lot of prohibited items, Rafi.
01:56Including the following, lighter, vape, cigarettes, perfumes, and other things.
02:05Rafi, vendors are also prohibited inside.
02:07That's why our fellow countrymen are discarding all the food that they will receive and the necessary items.
02:16Red Cross, LGU, and volunteer fire and rescue units are active in reminding those who are in need of medical response.
02:27One year ago, Rafi, we were assigned here.
02:29The number of people visiting Manila North Cemetery is at 900,000.
02:35This year, it is expected that the number of people visiting Manila North Cemetery will increase because visiting hours have been extended by two hours.
02:43Good news, there is no major untoward incident here in one of the largest and oldest cemeteries here in Metro Manila.
02:54Rafi?
02:55Emil, you mentioned that visiting hours have been extended in Manila North Cemetery.
02:59What is the new schedule now?
03:01Okay, starting yesterday, October 31, Rafi, until tomorrow, November 2, Manila North Cemetery will open at 5 am.
03:15It will be closed until 7 pm.
03:18One year ago, Rafi, if you can remember, this cemetery was only open until 5 am.
03:24Visiting hours have been extended by two hours because it is expected that the local government will have more people visiting this cemetery.
03:36This is also to give our fellow citizens who are planning to visit Manila North Cemetery enough time for this day.
03:43But tomorrow, Rafi, let me clarify, all souls day, November 2, 5 am to 7 pm is still the visiting hours here in Manila North Cemetery.
03:52Rafi?
03:53Thank you very much, Emil Sumangil.
