                                           Hollowen Celebration In The Philippines
 Most of the people who are staying in Manila taking their holidays starting October 30..Everybody is busy cleaning and painting the grave.This is also the time to visit the family and relatives. Expect all the memorial parks and public cemetery are full of people.The vendors are busy selling flowers and candles.
 The older people usually do the traditional stuff like praying for the dead and putting candles outside of their house.That is for their dead relatives so that they can find their way back to their house. But the young people have a big dance party and they all get drunk and do crazy stuff like that and they paint themselves and put masks on and try to scare people. Filipinos do celebration is November 1st & 2nd, "All Saints Day and All Souls Day respectively. They cook good food during this times for all the family. They go to church to pray for all their love ones, who passed away and then go to the cemetery to offer some food, prayer, and light a candle on the graveyard. Some even go house to house to visit some relatives, families and friends. Some even throw a party in thanksgiving. Only rich kids in a subdivision goes to trick or treat then they would give all their goodies to the maids and drivers.
