Chabot honors Dia De Los Mu***os and Araw Ng Mga Patay

Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Mu***os) is a two-day holiday that reunites the living and dead. Families create ofrendas (offerings) to honor family members that have passed.

These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks of the one being honored. The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their foods and join in the celebrations!

Similar to Dia De Los Mu***os, Araw Ng Mga Patay is a major holiday celebrated on November 1, where ancestors are remembered and honored. This custom of giving offerings is said to predate the Spanish and was an indigenous practice in pre-colonial Philippines.
