Councilor David Tumulak, who authors the proposed ordinance for the new Cebu City Public Cemetery, joined the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in meeting residents of the mountain village on July 8, 2020 for public consultation on the proposed public cemetery in the area. Tumulak said the public cemetery is an urgent necessity since the lack of burial space has caused problems for families who lost some of their members to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 .
The councilor explained that the city will be building a memorial garden with cemented tombs to avoid the contamination of the ground and prevent the spread of the virus.
