00:00The barangka public cemetery in Marikina was filled by those who are complaining

00:05because of the unauthorized visitation of the residents there.

00:09Some of them said that it's time to stop.

00:14And Jun Venerasio was there live.

00:22Vicky, in the initial accounting of the city hall of Marikina,

00:25the number of illegal visitors has reached 65.

00:32And it was placed in one part of the barangka public cemetery.

00:36It is expected that the number will increase.

00:39Today, Vicky, the residents of Marikina are complaining

00:43because of those who left their homes.

00:51The alliance of flowers and candles of Ms. Carmen,

00:54the wife of the resident of the barangka public cemetery in Marikina,

00:58but another person was buried in Nitsio when she visited today in Undas.

01:03The neighbor of her husband was left in the field.

01:07You know, I always bring you here.

01:10I only bring you flowers because you said that if I don't bring you here,

01:14you will bring flowers.

01:16We are the only two children here.

01:19If you don't come here, I will lose you.

01:23I don't know what to say.

01:26That's also what Veng said when her parents brought her here.

01:30I wish I could see your bones so that I can transfer you to another Nitsio.

01:36So that we can still visit you.

01:39Earlier, those who were complaining in the office of the barangka public cemetery

01:43because their loved ones left their bones,

01:46they were not able to find them.

01:49They are the descendants of the people who were removed from Nitsio

01:52because of their obedience to the ordinance of the city

01:55which says that those buried there can only remain for up to five years.

02:00But the city hall said that there is a moratorium

02:03or they are stopping the execution here.

02:06The exhumation was also illegal because there is no permit from the city hall.

02:10In the initial accounting of the local government,

02:13there were already 63 graves that were not allowed to be buried in the cemetery.

02:19The administrative complaints and violation of Presidential Decree 856

02:25or the Code of Sanitation of the Philippines were filed

02:28by the governor of the cemetery and five others

02:31because of the illegal exhumation of the graves.

02:34We are still trying to get their plan.

02:37It's like a syndicate where they open a Nitsio

02:40and the Nitsio they open is offered for a fee,

02:45but they are the only ones who can understand that fee.

02:49There was also a confrontation when a group of people saw

02:52that they were paid to transfer their loved ones to another Nitsio

02:57but they were also removed.

03:08It's a challenge to get to know the graves,

03:10especially the ones that were just buried without any details.

03:15If the right process is followed,

03:17the graves should be placed in a sealed box

03:21after being removed from the Nitsio and immediately placed for transfer.

03:25It should be easy to identify so that the burden or the pain

03:33of all those who are looking for their loved ones will be relieved.

03:44Vicky, tomorrow the city government of Marikina will hold a mass

03:48here in the cemetery for the illegal exhumation.

03:53If their family agrees, the city government will allow

03:57free cremation for the exhumed.

04:01June, do we have any information on how many families

04:05are looking for their loved ones?

04:12For now, it's hard to say how many,

04:14because the number is increasing.

04:17In the initial accounting, the human remains were collected

04:21and accounted by the city government.

04:25But this is our latest update from the Office of the Acting

04:29Administrator of this cemetery.

04:31There are 40 relatives that they are interviewing.

04:35They need to conduct the interview so that the information

04:41about their loved ones can be spread.

04:45When they arrived here, the bones were already near

04:49and they couldn't see them anymore.

04:51June, what will Marikina LGU do so that the identification

04:56of their loved ones will be easier?

05:02This process of interviewing the families, Vicky,

05:05is part of the process to identify the loved ones.

05:10But aside from that, they are looking for the worst-case scenario

05:13because there are bones here that have no label

05:16and they will really have a hard time.

05:18Although some bones are easy to find,

05:20but there are bones that have no label

05:23so that they can identify who are the owners of those bones.

05:26That's where they see the challenges that they see, Vicky.

05:31And one of the options that they are studying now

05:35is the examination of the dental records of the deceased.

05:39But they still need to know that.

05:41That's just a recommendation for now.

05:42They still need to know that from the city government of Marikina.

05:47Thank you very much, June Veneration.
