Isko Moreno establishes Manila's first Muslim cemetery and cultural hall

Former Manila Mayor Isko Moreno has established the city’s first Muslim Cemetery and Cultural Hall in Manila South Cemetery. This 2,400-square-meter site honors the historical contributions of the Muslim community in the capital. Previously, Manila's Muslim residents struggled to find appropriate burial grounds, often needing to transport loved ones to distant provinces. The new cemetery provides a dignified resting place that reflects their heritage. Moreno's initiative has been well-received by the Muslim community, with leaders expressing gratitude for the recognition of their cultural identity. As Moreno campaigns for mayor again, he continues to receive strong support from this community.
