- Summary:
- A story on the living people who inhabit the largest cemetery in Manila, who live rent free in exchange for taking care of graves and exhuming bodies when families haven't paid rent. Manila's North Cemetery is the city's largest, with 70 to 80 funerals a day, and more than one million buried here. For most, this would be a chilling place to visit. But to some Filipinos, this sea of tombs and bones is the place they call home.
