In place of the All Saints' and All Souls' Day celebrations, the Philippines will get to enjoy a long weekend, and with that, we can visit our departed loved ones together with family. And despite the heavy rain that has pounded most of the country, still many people visited churches to pray for the souls of their departed and paid their respects to the graves of their loved ones with flowers and candles.

To begin with, the above photo is of an angel statue right at the entrance of the graveyard standing on one of the pillars of the gates.

On the other hand, other than people visiting their departed loved ones vendors also are busy during the celebration as they sell candles and flowers going after to individuals to peddle.
Moreover, more people are still coming into the cemetery, most probably these individuals came from the city and are native to this town but seeing that it was as a non-working day and happened to fall on a weekend it may likely come across in their thoughts to pay a visit of their departed loved ones.
The above photos were all captured by yours truly using Nikon D5600 with an 18-140mm Nikkor lens.
