Ten women from Balubad Village in Bulakan, Bulacan do a traditional ‘Pangangaluluwa’ practice which might seem strange for the present generation.

As the national celebrations during the month of November approaches, a lot of practices are being done in the Philippines.

What is common to both older and younger generations is the practice of going to the resting grounds on the 1st or 2nd of November to light a candle and offer prayers and flowers to the departed loved ones.

The traditional ‘Pangangaluluwa’ might be a strange practice for the present generation. Nevertheless, this is still done in Bulacan.
