NOBODY will visit their remains in the cemeteries today. They don't even have their own tombs to begin with.

At the Sangandaan Cemetery in Caloocan City, the remains of the dead are contained in old sacks, piled one on top of the other, locked in a small storehouse at the back of a chapel.

They are those whose memories have faded in the hearts of their relatives, or those whose relatives are too poor to provide them with tombs.

Ernesto Apolinario, 63, a gravedigger at the cemetery for 39 years, yesterday told the Inquirer that the storehouse for the abandoned remains has over a thousand sacks of skeletons inside.

The concrete storehouse, measuring about 20 square meters, has no windows nor any sort of opening, except for a steel door which is locked most of the time.
