About this trap
Around Undas, from October 31 to November 2, Libingan ng mga Bayani fills with families. The Army counted over 20,000 visitors by noon on November 1, 2024, after about 80,000 the year before. Arrive when the cemetery opens, or visit on a different week if you only want a quiet look. On the evening of October 31 the Army has held a candle-lighting for the fallen. Keep your voice low among the family groups.
