00:00Today, the families of the buried in Barangka Public Cemetery in Marikina are still not quiet.
00:07They were illegally buried and buried.
00:10There are more bodies of evicted bodies.
00:13There is a free cremation of a local LGU and a burial in Labi.
00:17Live from Marikina, this is Vaughn Aquino.
00:21Vaughn.
00:23Pia Yvonne continues the search and inventory of Marikina City Health Office
00:30to identify the bodies that were illegally buried here in Barangka Cemetery.
00:37The family of Joylyn Abadilla would have allied with their grandfather in Barangka Cemetery in Marikina.
00:44But they were shocked when their grandfather's body was gone.
00:48We went to my grandfather's grave and it was already empty.
00:52We looked for it but it was already gone.
00:55That's why we are asking for assistance to find out why they removed it without telling us.
01:01The family of Jesse Atibagos is looking for the bodies of his parents
01:06because they say that the buried bodies of this cemetery are different from the previous ones.
01:09We found it in a small cemetery.
01:14There's a grave but we don't know if there's a body or if it's ours, my parents and my grandchild.
01:20It's very painful for us.
01:22We will go there but it's already gone.
01:25They removed it but there's no abyss.
01:27Now, the inventory is searching for the bodies that were illegally buried.
01:31Marikina LGU arranged for the relatives of the affected bodies
01:35to coordinate with the office of the cemetery.
01:38We call the record.
01:41Until yesterday, there were 13 people asking questions and inquiring.
01:47That's why our city health office, Dr. Opet, is here
01:55to handle the actual bodies that we have exhumed.
02:01There are some that have tags.
02:03We are tracing them.
02:05We are looking for them in the file.
02:07The inventory is working now.
02:10Some have tags, some don't.
02:12We are looking for ways to identify the remains.
02:16But the majority have tags.
02:18When it comes to the bodies, they say that they will investigate the relatives.
02:22They also plan to develop the Barangkas Cemetery.
02:25We will build three to four small ossuary
02:29that can accommodate three to four bodies in one place.
02:36We will also build a small columbarium.
02:43Aside from free cremation,
02:45they will also provide free re-interment or burial for the illegally buried bodies.
02:51A mass is also held to pray for the souls of the affected bodies.
02:56The relatives of their loved ones continue to visit the cemetery.
03:01It's just a reminder that they are still alive.
03:06Ivan, Pia, as it gets darker,
03:08the number of our countrymen who visit the cemetery increases.
03:12As of 5 p.m., the PNP's crowd estimate is 600 inside the cemetery.
03:19Ivan, Pia?
03:20Thank you very much, Von Aquino.
03:23The visit to Manila North Cemetery continues
03:25with the endless number of people who visit the province.
03:29And there is also a missing child.
03:32From Manila North Cemetery, this is Darlene Carr.
03:37Darlene?
03:42Pia, the Manila North Cemetery will be closed for more than an hour.
03:46But as you can see here, there are still a lot of people coming.
03:51According to the PNP's estimate,
03:53more than 300,000 people came to Manila North Cemetery
03:57to visit their loved ones.
04:04Almost all day, the line to enter Manila North Cemetery is still there.
04:09There are still no signs of people arriving on All Souls Day.
04:13Because inspections are still tight on the items brought in,
04:16a lot of lighters, other flammable materials,
04:19vape, e-cigarettes, and others have been confiscated.
04:21The line for free rides inside the cemetery is still there.
04:25E-vehicles are allowed to ride inside
04:27so that they won't have to walk far to reach their destination.
04:32There are still hundreds of thousands of people
04:34who came to Manila North Cemetery on All Souls Day.
04:37But it's a lot less than the number of people who came yesterday.
04:41According to the people we talked to,
04:43they really avoided the crowds, that's why they came today.
04:46Of all the people,
04:4880-year-old Berna lost her child.
04:52While they were walking yesterday to her son's grave,
04:55she was surprised to see that her son, Joan,
04:5947 years old, has a special condition.
05:02Joan still doesn't have a cell phone, and she doesn't know how to go home alone.
05:05Joan, go home, son.
05:09I didn't sleep last night.
05:12I waited for you.
05:14Where did you go?
05:17Tell me where you are, we'll follow you.
05:22The police immediately reported the incident.
05:25For those who have information on Joan's whereabouts,
05:28they can contact MPD Hotlines.
05:31Most of the people who came here
05:33brought food and other necessities
05:35because they were tired of waiting for hours at the cemeteries.
05:40But there are people like Rosalinda,
05:42who doesn't have a place to go to,
05:44that's why she just lit a candle here at the mass grave
05:47in the middle of Manila North Cemetery.
05:49The former apartment-style cemeteries are closed here,
05:52but the rent was already paid,
05:54and the children didn't come back.
05:56We're sick.
05:58We're crying.
06:00Our parents are with us.
06:02There are also people like Romel Sabanal,
06:04who come here to pray,
06:06even though her relatives are in the province of Panakalibing.
06:10My grandparents taught me that
06:13if you can't go home,
06:16even if you go to the cemetery,
06:19you can go straight to Malacan Cross.
06:22It's far, there's a river.
06:24That's why it's easy to pray.
06:33Pia, based on the statistics of Manila LGU,
06:35more people came to Manila North this year,
06:38compared to last year.
06:40Maybe it's because of the extended visiting hours,
06:43and the better weather.
06:45That's the latest from Manila North Cemetery,
06:47back to you, Pia.
06:49Thank you very much, Darlene Cai.
06:52Long live the tradition in Angolo, Rizal,
06:55to worship the dead on November 2,
06:58the Day of the Souls.
07:00The situation there, live from Pagtuto,
07:02Jamie Santos.
07:04Jamie.
07:08Ivan, early this morning,
07:10people went to the cemeteries here in Angolo, Rizal,
07:14where today is the Day of the Souls,
07:16November 2, or All Souls Day.
07:18Visitors were able to visit their loved ones.
07:25People came one after another
07:27to the nearby cemeteries in Angolo this Saturday.
07:30The sun was shining, and the weather was hot.
07:35Earlier, we held a mass,
07:38and the congregation was praying,
07:40and blessing the dead.
07:42Today, some are still cleaning the dead.
07:45We've just been brought here again.
07:47I used to clean this,
07:49but now, we can't do anything.
07:52Aside from the activities of the Angolans
07:55during November 2, or All Souls Day,
07:58visiting their loved ones,
08:00some went to the cemeteries
08:02to avoid the crowd in the cemeteries during November 1.
08:06That's what the Angolans do,
08:10they go to the Day of the Souls.
08:16Who are your loved ones?
08:18My mother, father, and sister.
08:20When it's All Souls Day,
08:23we don't just go to the cemeteries,
08:25we also go there.
08:26That's why we go to the Day of the Souls.
08:29Police are deployed around the nearby cemeteries
08:33to ensure the security of the place and of the visitors.
08:37There are also medics in the vicinity of the cemeteries
08:41for those in need of medical attention.
08:43So far, it's peaceful,
08:45when we went to Undaz 2024,
08:47here in the town of Hangono.
08:50You'll see more police on the streets,
08:52because it's not crowded.
08:54Although, of course, the volume of people
08:56is really a lot.
09:00Ivan, because there are three nearby cemeteries,
09:04there is a build-up in traffic.
09:07But we have deployed traffic enforcers
09:10to remind motorists and people going to the cemeteries.
09:15According to Angono Police,
09:17these three cemeteries here in Angono-Rizal
09:20will remain open until tomorrow.
09:22That's the latest from here.
09:24Back to you, Ivan.
09:26Thank you very much,
09:27Maraming Salamat, J.B. Santos.
