00:00Every year, the income of the Sepultureros increases

00:03and the search for a life for their families comes from the dead.

00:06Their story is reported by Janna Pineda of the Philippine Information Agency, National Capital Region.

00:15In the cemeteries where our loved ones are buried alive,

00:20we have people whom the guardians trust.

00:23They are the Sepultureros.

00:26They are considered to be workers in the informal sector of the country.

00:31They have no permanent source of income and no regular income.

00:36Their main source of daily necessities

00:39is the maintenance and cleaning of the graves of the dead.

00:44Ondas, or the Day of the Dead, is the time when the Sepultureros are at their peak.

00:50One of them is Irish Santos, also known as Tasoy,

00:53who is a 25-year-old Sepulturero in Barangka Municipal Cemetery in Marikina City.

00:59According to him,

01:00their biggest income is around P300 in cleaning the graves.

01:06This is getting smaller as the families who collect from them are not able to pay their bills.

01:13Every time Ondas reaches its peak,

01:15the Sepultureros are eager to increase their income.

01:19But due to the fact that they work a lot,

01:22their livelihood is still a huge burden.

01:26According to Tasoy,

01:27if there are no deaths,

01:29they also have no livelihood.

01:32This is the only source of income that they earn daily

01:36as well as for their children's education.

01:38I live as long as my family lives.

01:41As long as I am here, I will be able to afford it.

01:46It is important for our family to live.

01:49There are many ways.

01:50We don't have to worry about anything.

01:52One of the main preparations that he does

01:56at the peaks that he watches every time Ondas approaches

01:59is cleaning the graves for the families who visit their relatives.

02:04For most, Ondas is a time to look for the loved ones in life.

02:10But for Sepultureros like Tasoy,

02:14Ondas is a time to look for life.

02:17From the Philippine Information Agency NCR,

02:20Janna Pineda for Balitang Pambansa.
