Manila City Mayor former Pres. Erap inaugurated in October 2016 a P90,000,000 multi level, three storey apartment complex for Manilas poor.  There are 40,000 units in all,  That would cost about or 2,250 each.   That would not be enough to accommodate the 50,000 deaths every year in Manila (if population is 10 million with about 0.5% death a year.

Yesterday, I had discussion with an architect who is a planner in a city whose population is 776,000. The yearly death would be about 3,500 a year.  He said that they are fast running out of burial spaces.

Would be able to help -  to help the city build body crypts and sell this at an affordable price.  Say P5,000 or that can be subsidized by the city.  I said yes.

The free would be the body crypts at P5,000

The premium would be:

1. Body crypts for lease for regular income at P10,000  2nd floor

2.  Body crypts premium at GF P15,000

3.  Crematorium

4.  Ash crypts

5.  GE and lawn burial in some parts of the burial ground

6.  Chapels and funeral service

Would that be a good idea?  Would this serve as template for other cities?
