With Undas 2024 fast approaching, the Bonuan Boquig Public Cemetery in Dagupan City is struggling with overgrown weeds and some graves submerged in floodwaters.

A few visitors have already started cleaning up the graves.

"Kapag malapit na ang pista ng patay, ito ang problema. Sa awa ng Diyos, pinapalinisan naman... magbota na lang, tiis para mabisita ‘yung puntod ng mga yumao," Eduardo Ferrer, one of those who hired help to clean, said.

Gabriel Velasco, the caretaker, assured the public that efforts are underway to trim the overgrown grass and clear the area before Undas.

"Talagang hindi matatanggal ‘yan kasi tumubo na ‘yan mga damo. Mahirap tanggalin kahit anong gawin, tubo ng tubo pa rin kaya malilinis lang ‘yan kapag pista ng patay," Velasco said.

More visitors are expected to arrive as Undas draws near, with many waiting for floodwaters to recede before cleaning the graves.
