Mabalacat City – Mayor Crisostomo Garbo has issued executive order no. 31 prescribing the guidelines for public and private memorial parks and cemeteries during Undas of this year.
During a meeting with the city’s Task Force Undas, Mayor Garbo shared that aside from his annual project of cleaning and painting tombs and niches in the public cemeteries, the second term mayor will also provide free candles per immediate family of the departed.
“I have instructed my team to conduct a survey to all niches of the public cemeteries and have them counted so that when the family visits, they won’t have to buy a candle anymore,” Garbo said.
Starting October 29 to November 2, the gates of both public and private memorial parks shall be open from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
The Mabalacat City Traffic Enforcement Group has also created traffic schemes that are set to be posted on the city’s official Facebook page (Mabalacat City News).
Mayor Garbo also reiterated the importance of following the health protocol during this period. “Kahit na pinayagan natin makabisita ang general public, mas mabuti pa rin na sumunod tayo sa alituntunin dahil andyan pa rin ang banta ng pandemiya,” Garbo added.
