My father’s grave

Wednesday, October 31, 2007

Yesterday (October 30) afternoon, I went to Libingan ng mga Bayani (Heroes’ Cemetery) in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City to check on my father’s grave and, if needed, clean it.  At the cemetery, the soldiers and workers were busy cleaning the area and planting Philippine flags on every grave. I was also surprised to see some families and relatives people already visiting their dead loved ones two days before the All Saint's Day.

My father’s grave needed cleaning and trimming of the grass.  A lady approached me and offered her services to clean the grave and the headstone, which I accepted.

The Libingan ng mga Bayani is reserved for the deceased military personnel who died in line of duty or were honorably discharged, Filipino veterans, former presidents, government dignitaries, statesmen and national artists.  The lot and the interment service are all for free.  My father was retired military personnel from the Philippine Army.  Hence, he was authorized to be buried there.

Some pictures I took while waiting:

so many “heroes” who died already.. sometimes it can be a little sad to think of that
