墓地の敷地内にいる子供たちを助ける試み

セブ市のPROBE(Prevention Restoration Beautification and Enhancement)チームによると、墓地の敷地内や周辺で発見された子供たちは救出されるべきとされています。

PROBEヘッドのRacquel Arce氏によると、お墓参り時期が延長されている間も、自宅待機の義務があり、15歳以下の未成年者は自宅で待機する必要があります
アルセ氏によると、精霊祭の期間中、子供たちは墓地でお清めをするのが伝統となっていますが、パンデミックの影響で、子供たちは墓地に入ることができません。

そのため、墓地の内外で見かけられる子供を救助しようとしています。徘徊している子供は救助され、社会福祉・サービス省(DSWS)に連れて行かれ、親が引き取ることができるかもしれません。

一方、PROBEは業者に対しても、墓地の外にある指定された販売エリアは先着順であることを注意喚起しています。アルセ氏によると、すべての業者は2021年11月5日までは墓地の外にいなければなりません。


PROBE: Children found inside or around cemeteries will be rescued

CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Cebu City Prevention Restoration Beautification and Enhancement (PROBE) team said children who will be found within or around the premises of cemeteries will be rescued.

PROBE Head Racquel Arce said that during the extended Kalag-Kalag season, the Oplan Puyo (Stay at home) mandate will still take effect, which means minors under the age of 15 should stay at home.

Arce understands that it has become tradition that children conduct cleansing, at cemeteries during the Kalag-Kalag days (All Soul’s Day), but because of the pandemic, they cannot enter the cemeteries at all.These kinds of services will have to be done by adults and outside the cemeteries.

Any children seen inside or outside the cemeteries will be rescued.Children found roaming will be rescued, taken to the Department of Social Welfare and Services (DSWS), where parents may be able to collect them.

Charges may be filed against parents for bringing their children to the cemeteries.Meanwhile, PROBE is also reminding vendors that the designated selling areas outside the cemeteries come on a first-come-first-serve basis.Arce said that all vendors must remain outside the cemeteries until November 5, 2021, and they are only allowed to sell within a 30-meter radius from the entrance.

If they wish to enter again with a customer, they must line up again to enter the cemetery, a situation the PROBE understands may be inconvenient. However, the policy of 1-hour visit per individual will apply to them in all cemeteries in the city. /bmjo
