In his message after the regular city hall flag-raising ceremony on Monday, May 8, 2023, Rama said the “cemetery tour” could be done a week before the observance of the All Saints and All Souls’ Day. In 2015, a local guide Balbino “Ka Bino” Guerrero initiated the “Cementouryo,” the research and development specialist of Chaac, together with photographer Herbert Kikoy, to link art to history through a tour.During the event, photographers roamed around cemeteries to capture interesting scenes; these include the Doña Pepang Cemetery, Carreta Cemetery and Cebu Chinese Cemetery.
Rama, earlier, assigned two of his special assistants, Ramil Ayuman and City Health Department assistant head, Dr. Jeffrey Ibones, to transform and beautify the Doña Pepang and the Chinese cemeteries, respectively.
