True to its core mission of delivering public service, Unang Hirit (UH)—the country's longest-running morning show—rolled out its Serbisyong Totoo booth at the Manila North Cemetery on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 and its Serbisyo Truck at the Bagbag Public Cemetery on Nov. 1 for Undas 2024.

UH Barkada Ivan Mayrina, Mariz Umali, Suzi Entrata-Abrera, and Kaloy Tingcungco and UH funliners were present at the Serbisyong Totoo booth at the Manila North Cemetery.

Hundreds of Kapuso flocked to the booth, eager to enjoy its upgraded offerings, which included free snacks, candles, water, coffee, mosquito patches, and wipes.  Visitors also enjoyed having their photos taken with the UH Selfie Corner.

The UH hosts also interacted with the crowd, making the experience more memorable.

Suzi narrated how she felt while manning the Serbisyong Totoo booth. “Sa totoo lang, excited ako lagi na magbantay sa Serbisyong Totoo booth kasi nakita ko kung gaano ito naging kapaki-pakinabang sa mga Kapuso nating bumibisita sa Manila North Cemetery. Shoutout sa mga staff and crew namin na magdamag ang paghahanda at buong maghapon na nagbabantay sa aming booth. Hanggang sa susunod na Undas!” she said.

Mariz, likewise shared her excitement on joining Unang Hirit’s annual event. “Masaya akong maging bahagi muli ng Serbisyong Totoo Booth ng Unang Hirit ngayong Undas 2024 dahil bukod sa tradisyon na nating makapaghatid ng mga biyaya, gaano man ito kasimple, sa mga kababayan nating bumibisita sa mga yumao nilang mahal sa buhay, nakapagbibigay rin tayo ng inspirasyon at ngiti sa kanilang mga mukha. Pagpapa-alala at patunay rin ito na ang Unang Hirit ay laging nandyan para maghatid ng serbisyo publiko sa mga Pilipino lalo na sa mahahalagang sandali ng kanilang buhay,” Mariz expressed.

Meanwhile, at the Bagbag Public Cemetery, considered one of Quezon City’s largest cemeteries, UH has improved access to its services through its Serbisyo Truck, a giant TV screen, and a surprise corner. Chef JR Royol delighted visitors with traditional kakanin while Sean Lucas offered snacks and other treats.

“Ang maganda rito, ‘yung ating Serbisyo truck (this year), mayroon ding LED wall kung saan naka-livestream ang Unang Hirit para updated ang mga Kapuso natin,” shared Chef JR.

In addition to providing services at cemeteries, UH has spread joy to commuters at the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) by distributing snacks, water, and even cash prizes.
