ALL SAINTS’ DAY

All Saints’ Day is celebrated in both the cemetery and the church and it is a public holiday. During the solemn part of All Saints’ Day, many attend Mass as a religious requirement. On November 1st each year, people flock to their family plots in cemeteries across the Philippines. All Saint’s Day also uses this holiday to hold a family reunion where groups of extended family gather together.

In the Philippines, there are only two kinds of holidays: regular holidays, and special non-working holidays.

Regular holidays are those that usually have a fixed date, such as New Year’s Day, Independence Day, and Christmas Day.

Special Holidays, on the other hand, are more flexible. Apart from being enacted by Congress, they can also be declared by the President of the Philippines.
