CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Talisay City government reported few visitors among major cemeteries in the city for the first week of the allowed visitation ahead of Kalag-kalag 2020.
In a Facebook post, the Talisay City Public Information Office (PIO), said that based on the one-week assessment of the City of Talisay-Traffic and Order Administration Office (CT-TODA), order had been kept in the cemeteries with less than a hundred visitors per day.

The public are expected to come in crowds starting this coming weekend on October 24 until October 28, 2020, leading to the Kalag-kalag days.
