All Saints and All Souls Day in Laguna

One of the Philippine tradition is to pay a visit during All Saints/Souls day to our departed loved ones. Some even sleep in the cemetery and some are staying  for a couple of hours. Others say that during these time, all their family are present and it becomes their reunion. Families are preparing for food and flowers especially the candles. It was lit the whole day. With the chinese tradition, some offered fruits and food above or beside the tomb of their loved ones.

Nov. 1 (Sunday), we went home to Laguna to visit our place and at the same time go to cemetery to pay respect to our loved ones. We leave the house in the morning and we drop by the Burger King to have some breakfast.

Honestly, when we arrived in the cemetery the condition of the cemetery is not that good because of the typhoon Santi...

our musoleo - grandma did not even ask the painter to paint the musoleo because of the typhoon. good thing that on that day, the typhoon was gone and the good weather is starting to show.
