Mayor Isko Moreno Order Closure of Manila Cemeteries to Prevent Spread of Virus
Manila Mayor Isko Moreno gives an order to close Manila cemeteries from October 31 to November 3 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Moreno recently signed an Executive Order No. 38, which announced the closure of cemeteries in Manila. The dates cover the days of traditional annual visits to cemeteries, which draw millions.
“Simula ngayon hanggang October 30 maari kayong bumisita na. Ang punto po ngayon pa lamang nakabisita kayo sa inyong mahal sa buhay,” said Moreno in a Facebook live post.

Mayor Isko also pleads to understand their decision as it is the effect of the new normal. He also promised residents that if the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) will be eased or gone by October 31 he will rescind the executive order.
“Pasensiya na po kayo, ito ay isa sa mga epekto ng tinatawag na new normal. Bibigyan ko naman kayo ng pagkakataon kung sakali naman patuloy na bumuti ang sitwasyon natin sa pandemyang ito, ibig sabihin wala nang kaso ng coronavirus sa lungsod ng Maynila pagdating ng October 31, akin pong babawiin itong Executive Order na ito,” the mayor said.
Manila Mayor previously offered P100k incentives to those villages or barangays with zero coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases. He announced that the village who will record zero infected cases will get a reward.
