Kapistahan ni Santiago Apostol (Plaridel, Bulacan)

Sa tuwing nagtatapos ang taon, bumabalik ako sa kung saan ako muling nagsimula.

At sa bawat salitang binibitawan, sa kataimtiman ng mga panalangin,

Habambuhay kong daramhin ang taos-pusong pasasalamat para sa pagliligtas mo.

Way way before Halloween parties were adopted in the Philippine culture from the westerners,

the Filipinos had been known for the tradition of visiting their departed loved ones in the cemetery every November 1st.

Although technically the day for the saints, we visit the graves of our dead to pay homage to them.
