Halloween is not really a Filipino tradition. We never had that when we were growing up. We just went to the cemetery where we had a reunion with all our living relatives.
Our parish has a new policy on Halloween now. Our priest said grownups shouldn't make kids dress up as ghosts or monsters.
Halloween comes from All Hallows Evening or the evening of all holy people or saints. He said kids should dress up as saints!
But where's the fun in that? Unless you read up on how they died for their faith!
And here are more gruesome deaths of saints! http://listverse.com/2009/03/28/10-strange-legends-and-images-of-saints/
