MANILA — Thousands of people flocked to cemeteries in the Catholic-majority Philippines on Thursday for their last chance to visit dead loved ones ahead of a government-ordered nationwide closure of graveyards for All Saints' Day.
But for the second year in a row, the government has ordered the shuttering of cemeteries for fear the "day of the dead" could turn into a coronavirus superspreader event. After passing through a temperature check, relatives placed small bouquets of white flowers and lit candles on tombs -- and then left.
I always wonder if the government is that strange in the thinking or that it's just me. I mean, YOU KNOW this will happen when you close it. So why not do it much different, like having maximum amount of people allowed spreaded on several days so everyone can go anyway.
