  • That is crazy. America would never allow that.

  • YouTube should ban ppl with low iq from posting comments

  • I have an idea! VERTICAL MAUSOLEUMS! VERTICAL MAUSOLEUM SKYSCRAPERS!!!!

  • worst country in the world. People in Asia including china are helping them giving them money and jobs and they can still be so poor.

  • @spike378 because of corruption

  • pathetic country

  • manila not manilla

  • don't judge people by its culture, when you don't know the half of what their going through. be open minded people... don't be clouded by your poor judgement.

  • an entire city built on top of the DEAD ... what movie is that from for 700 points! (repo!) :P

  • @icefire2626 I totally thought the same thing when she said that! lol XD 

  • what the hell

  • I'm afraid to go manila !! So disgusting .........and poor living life out there.

  • @Chetah01

    Why you afraid in Manila,because what you saw ? Do you think only in Philippines... For your information i s more disgusting if you knew in your own backyard...

  • @Chetah01 You're from Mexico right? Well no offense, but Mexico seems way more dangerous and poor than the Philippines. There is nothing but news of drug cartel this, guerilla war that, executions upon executions, coming out from Mexico! Case in point: Manila hasn't got the reputation of being the most dangerous city on earth, Mexico City does.

  • @MrHalohalo85 But Philippines Poorer Than Mexico ! And that's the way to judge.

  • @Chetah01 Lol... "the way to judge" is by comparing the economies of two totally different countries? Wow. Please get yourself educated. I don't ignore the fact that Manila has its slums... there are certainly many out there, but not all of Manila is like this. That's A.

    B. The Philippines is a lot more congested than Mexico. With a country about the size of Arizona, it is #12 in world population. There are too many people in a small land area. Mexico can hardly compare to the density.

  • @percyjacksonization I'm from Spain. but working in Mexico. What i told you is true. I saw it with my eyes.

    Mexico is better than Philippines 1000 times.  I always travel so i can see it with my eyes not only searching pictures or watching on youtube only.

    The truth is that Manila is poorer than Mexico and many people are poor.

  • @Chetah01 I didn't dispute the fact that Manila has slums and poor people. Read my original comment... I even said that in there. What I am astounded by is your assertion that "the way to judge" is by comparing to totally different economies. Yeah, the Philippines has its poor parts, but we Filipinos aren't notorious for drug dealings/drug wars. Try again.

  • @Chetah01 I from the Philippines but living in USA first I thougth Philippines was nothing to offer but when I went vacation there are places in Philippines that is modern... Of course there are slum places in the middle of modern place... it is like having cake with fish mix together... What I meant you drive in good neigborhood then suddely a slumm then a good neiborhood again... if you say we are poor maybe but we are modern too.... Our country have a lot of malls and 2 are largest in world

  • You don't need gloves. In nat geo documentary TABOO aboit death a doctor said thAt this Is cmpleatly aséptic. Is diferent if You aré collecting corpses died recently in that case You need gloves

  • God I hate those STUPID Dickies Ads!!!!

  • shouldnt they be wearing gloves or something wtf

  • Goverment should creat more or promote city. For people to spred out. Metro Manila is just too crowded.

  • Comment removed

  • why are they living here when they can live on the province???

  • @yurishadow1 There's this sentiment in the provinces that says "there is a new life in manila" and they get bored by a very simple life. And their lands are converted into special economic zones.

  • WTF....they make make the Philippines look so awful and gross...not all Filipinos are living on graveyards....

  • sino pong nag-upload nito buhay pa po ba yung tao na to?

  • The Catholic Church has been allowing cremation for the past 50 years, more people in the Philippines should do it

  • Im a filipino...my grandfather was cremated there..cant believe that it was featured on NG...Wow

  • Would you like to play with my dolly? Vintage, died 60 years ago.

  • FREE.

  • bomb these fuckers

  • Why would you say that?

  • This is the fault of the ultra conservative CAtholic Church

  • they not even use handglove..! u scary me man..

  • fuck you go live in the graveyard with your people LOL hahahahaah

  • @malaystud22

    sad but true

  • @malaystud22 says the malaysian prick

  • cremation people !!

  • thats disrispectful..you dont pay the rent and the body gets thrown out of the tomb/grave...its not the peson whose deads fault that no one pays for them

  • Unfortunatley this happens all over asia, in most big cities, not just Manilla.

  • @SID994 you dumb ass Philippino lover... didnt you watch the whole video? if you cant pay the rent... you just get thrown into a mass grave.... see? you still get a grave, get over it dude

  • @FunnyLooking77 I wrote the comment before i watched the whole video!

  • do they show this episode in the states?

  • Wow thats gotta suck being evicted from your grave and its also gotta suck taking them out. That is not worth free rent.

  • Gotta do what you gotta do? i dont know what to say.

    its a little unsettling knowing that kids play with skeletons, though.

  • Oh my God....

  • this is extremely upsetting !

  • Pay ur rent!!!!!!

  • On the entire World are living TOO MUCH

    people, not only in Manila. I mean, how can it be, i must live in a cemetary..., äähhmmmm HELLO??

    many People are bored over the day, have no

    perspectives for their future and so they are

    fucking...fucking...fucking...­fucking... without

    prevention and the human population

    explode like BAMMMM.....

  • OMG I cant believe this!!!!Rent grave like apartment and being kicking out if not pay?wooohhh!!!!!!

  • im filipino but i dont do this O_O

  • they should go back to viking funerals, put body in ship, lite it up and push into ocean pretty badass i think

  • I, for one, don't like the thought of burning the dead. But at the same time, they don't have to put so much into honoring them. Give them their funeral, bury them in the ground respectably, and it's over. Their bodies will return to the earth and future generations that don't remember them will build over them. But all these tombstones and crypts and graveyards... Pointless, really.

  • mankind should be doing nothing but cremation anymore bodies take up to much room

  • @C0mm0nS3ns3 not all people have money to be cremated.

  • this video just made me realize

    in india one day we're going to have to enforce cremation on muslim and christian communities.

    if the hindu's never cremated since the dawn of their kind asia would of looked like a graveyard

  • Just build over the cemetery.

  • huh!? screw dat

    that's disrespecting tombs for one

    and second, i wouldn't want to sleep in any of those houses built over the graves

  • It's the creepiest thing I've ever seen.

  • w0w it's Philippines or wat ever it spell,

    there lot's of cute girls out there I think hehe,

    don't know exactly cause I don't leave there I saw a girl name crisitine reyes and I do like her :D

  • @VOLlMlNAL

    wtf?

  • This is what the rest of the world will face if we don't find another way to handle the way we deal with our dead.

  • silent hills music is in the background.

  • Have they ever heard of cremation?

  • Yeah, they do have it but its too expensive to do that.

  • Cremation is one of, if not the cheapest ways of disposing of the dead. You don't have to pay a large amount of money for a plot of land.

  • bad ass.. I love it.

  • OMG, how disturbing.

  • FASCINATING!!!!

  • WOW in all honesty, if i had a family like that guy and my other option was those slums, I'd choose the tomb too. It's actually cleaner, and it's free.

  • wtFFFF

  • Very disturbing.....one word: CREMATION

  • Their culture seems to avoid birth control measures = 3rd world country.

  • no respect for dead = not whole lot of respect for life.

  • no respect for the dead ... possibly LESS respect for the living

  • What is less than zero? I don't follow your logic, but I think we basically agree.

  • a negative number is less than zero.

  • That's fine for math. Less than zero respect actually means scorn, etc. I'm just a word freak, so think slang is not really descriptive.

  • interesting!

  • Thats really messed up.Evicting the dead.

  • ewhh

  • Very cool until the catholic thing.

  • fuckin find a place to bury not so hard... and put a stone right next to it

  • @HappyEarlyBirthday it's obvious that you're completely uneducated and can't take in the slightest bit of information whatsoever. There is no room that you can bury in manila, theres 15million people living in a small city, do you honestly think they would give up valuable land to make available for burrial?

  • wow....disturbing

  • Geez, from where I grew up (cebu), I used to swim to school everyday. When my teacher asks me for my homework, id be like "the mutha fcking shark ate it!"

  • another one bites the dust.....

  • They spelled Manila incorrectly. lol

  • thats soo hood!

  • Very sick assholes.

  • What the F lol . . .

  • Pretty awesome.

  • cremation is more healthy

  • Living with people who does nothing good /different/creative/ is like living with dead people anyway.

  • It's not that bad actually, I would totally live there if I had free rent, free water etc

    This video also shows the superiority of cremation over burial. The practice of "renting tombs" only to be evicted and desecrated later on is so stupid, just burn the body and everything is well.

  • creepy as fuuudge;]

  • Don't be afraid of the dead ... be afraid of the living .

  • yeah, well said friend

  • thats what my dad tells me lol

  • just burn and move on

  • alittle harsh

  • does look pretty creepy...

  • I think instead of calling these people idiots we should help them. If these people would rather live in a CEMETERY then live in the actual city, something's pretty messed up over there.

  • Interesting.

  • Looks kinda cozy. I guess

  • omg

  • Remind me again to request to be cremated when I pass away.

  • They HAVE to get haunted, I mean they gonna live in the GRAVE in the CEMETARY

  • Why would you not want to get cremated if you may have your half-decompsed corpse "evicted" after 5 years? What the fuck is wrong with Philipinos?

  • not like they can do anything about it. lots of diseases and with so many dieing everyday theres no room, so you should really take into mind what ther situation is. so...what the fuck is wrong with you?

  • what is wrong with FILIPINOS?

    well first there is nothing wrong with us, we are human too.

    we just do what we got to do. its call SURVIVING.

    oh and Jesus Loves You.

    lol

  • that was pretty neat. .. i'd live there

  • Awesome!

  • I've seen this on TV before. it's pretty old

  • thats kind of messed up

  • 0:28, is that a pizza box?.... XD

  • Kinda scary.

  • o____o;;;;;;

  • 4th

  • Damn who would choose 2 live in a cementary

  • Wear condoms.

  • LOL
