STA. ANA – Several truck loads of
garbage had piled up in various cemeteries here and in neighboring towns a day
after the celebration of All Saints’ Day.
Ricardo Custodio, one of the caretakers
in a private cemetery here said that people who visited the departed loved ones
left their garbage indiscriminately.

“Sa dami ng mga dumalaw sa
sementeryo, bawat isa sa kanila ay nag iwan ng kanya kanyang basura na kapag pinagsamasama ay madami rin. Sana kung naging responsible
lamang sila ay hindi ganun kalaki ang problema natin,” he said.
Custodio added that it would take
them weeks to remove all the garbage in the area as they have budget for the
disposal of the same.
He further claimed that this situation
is an annual problem but still the people did not learn their lesson.
“Siguro ang nasa isip nila
mayroon namang tulad naming na naglilinis sa mga sementeryo,” Custodio stated.
In Candaba town, public
cemeteries in the Barangays of Pasig and Paralaya had also been left with tons
of garbage.
It was learned that most of the
public cemeteries were being managed by the Roman Catholic Church.
“Sana naglalaan din sila ng pondo sa pag aalis
ng basura dahil sila din naman ang naniningil bago makapaglibing ng patay sa
sementeryo,” another resident living near the cemetery stressed.
