All Souls Day is one holiday for us Filipinos to remember and
visit the resting place of our dead family members and friends. This is also our time to offer prayers for
the dead and the opportunity to gather as family.
I got the chance roam around the city that day and was able to
see how Cotabateños celebrate the it this age. It became a gathering for everyone where most spend their time
remembering their dead, eat together, and have some chit chat.
At the Marian Hills Memorial Park, colorful tents and
umbrellas served as the shade in the tombs where family members flock. Some lit the candles and focused in praying
while others are fixing the flowers they brought.
This Filipino tradition shows how families are close and
values our dead. Others might have
forgotten this but most of us still join our families and even live with them
for with our family we are safe and valued.
