PHILIPPINES LARGEST FAMILY REUNION - We Went Home! (Becoming Filipino Undas) - Video

EVERY END OF OCTOBER MANY FILIPINOS HEAD HOME FOR WHAT IS THE LARGEST SIMULTANEOUS FAMILY REUNION IN THE PHILIPPINES...

November 1st and 2nd are known as "All Saints Day" and "All Souls Day", or a time of the year Filipinos refer to as "Undas". This year, I commuted from Manila like so many Filipinos do, to my wife's hometown in Cavite. It was important for her to visit her relatives at different cemeteries in her home town. I remember the first time I experienced this in Cagayan de Oro back in 2014... it was quite and eye opener for me. I had never seen people so happy in a cemetery before. It is a beautiful time of the year, where many Filipinos have a family reunion and even will spend overnight in the cemetery with their loved ones.

A Family reunion in the Philippines... Undas.

Beautiful.
