Police: Manila Memorial Park gets 83,622 visitors

Despite the heat, visitors continue to enter the Manila Memorial Park in Parañaque City on Thursday afternoon to remember their departed kin.

According to a report from the Parañaque City Police Station, some 83,622 visitors have already entered the cemetery as of 2 p.m. of All Saints’ Day.

Police Chief Inspector Benedicto Balagtas said this is perhaps because of the long weekend ahead.
