Filipinos Remember the Dead in the Time of COVID

Filipino families traditionally visit cemeteries and hold gatherings on the graves of their departed loved ones during the observance of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. The annual two-day tradition of visiting the tombs is a major family affair in the Philippines before the pandemic and an occasion for singing, dancing and merrymaking in cemeteries.

Thanks For The Memories Harrison Plaza

From here on, not a few people will regard December 31, 2019 as an unforgettable day not only because it marked the end of the year or even the end of this decade. The day also marked the end of an era for many baby boomers, martial law babies and even Generation X’ers.

It’s because Harrison Plaza Shopping Complex, that sprawling and familiar two-storey structure located in Malate, Manila will officially cease operations. The mall’s impending demise has been an open secret since last year when it was reported that the existing lease contract of longtime owners, the Martel family with the city government of Manila was bought out by SM Prime.
