Metro Manila Development Authority Chairman Benjamin Abalos tries to assist after a woman fainted due to exhaustion while visiting the tomb of a dead relative at Manila North Cemetery on Tuesday, 26 October 2021.
Abalos is making rounds at various cemeteries in Metro Manila to check if IATF protocols are being observed even as the country prepares to celebrate All Saints Day on November 1. The government has already earlier ordered that all private and public cemeteries must be closed from Oct.29 to Nov.3 to avoid mass gathering of people that could result in another wave of high number of Covid-19 cases in the country.
