All Saint’s Day in the Philippines

by Lito on November 2, 2008


To those who visited their loved ones yesterday, I hoped all is well and you enjoyed the gathering with your relatives. And as for me, I also enjoyed it but I only went to my father-in-law’s grave and can’t visit my father’s because of the distance. But I’ll try to visit other days. November 1 is common to us for celebrating the All Saint’s Day but did you know that there is a place in the Philippines that celebrates it on November 2 ?

It’s in Angono, Rizal. At first I thought my wife is joking about it. But when I saw people flocking to the cemetery on November 2 on that place then I believed. This is the reason why I was having a hard time commuting because of the traffic due to the crowd.
