(Updated Oct. 29 8:15 p.m.) GMANews.TV is publishing this traffic advisory, based on the rerouting plans for vehicular traffic going to the main cemeteries in the National Capital Region as issued by various Metro Manila authorities.
The first map below, prepared by GMANews.TV, is an interactive Google map showing Manila North Cemetery, La Loma Cemetery and the Chinese cemetery as one cluster at the Kalookan-Manila border; the Manila South Cemetery in Makati; and the Manila Memorial Park further south in Parañaque. Click on the (+) button at the upper-left corner of the map to zoom into a closer view. Click at any point of the map, and drag the mouse to any direction, to show other areas of Metro Manila. The other maps shown further down, prepared by GMA News Research, show the same cemeteries and surrounding thoroughfares with accompanying detail of the traffic rerouting plans. Red lines represent roads closed to traffic. Green lines represent roads open to traffic leading into or out of cemeteries. Green areas with black borders, in the interactive map, represent cemeteries. Clicking on red and green lines or green areas in the interactive map will bring up a text box showing more details.
