Malacañang announced that all cemeteries nationwide will be closed from October 29 to November 4 to prevent crowds during Todos Los Santos.
According to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, those who are temporarily closed on the said date also include the columbaries.
“All private and public cemeteries and memorial parks will be closed to visitors from Oct. 29 to Nov. 4, 2020, ”Roque said at a press briefing in Baguio City.
“We can visit before closing and after closing the cemeteries,” he added.
