Far from home, Filipinos in Gulf find ways to honor departed loved ones
Filipinos in Gulf countries find creative ways to honor their departed loved ones during Undas, a holiday traditionally marked by cemetery visits and family gatherings. Instead, they light candles, prepare favorite foods, and use video calls to connect with family back home, ensuring their cultural traditions endure despite the distance. Personal rituals vary from setting up altars with photos to cooking cherished meals, reflecting a deep commitment to remembering those they've lost.
