- Filipinos normally celebrate Halloween for four days.
- It includes the celebration of All Saints’ Day and All Souls Day.
- Filipinos still know how to make it more entertaining and unique by means of sharing their amusing Halloween costumes.
In other countries, Halloween is a day wherein people dress up, attend parties, go trick or treating for candy, or at least try to scare others for the sake of entertainment. The younger generation in the Philippines has also adapted to this tradition, but the country also has a few events that go well beyond what Halloween usually is.
In a more traditional sense, families use this opportunity to hold a reunion and catch up with their relatives. They all go to the cemetery, set camp, and spend the whole day there just eating and talking to each other. Older traditions include atang or food offering to the dead by placing it in front of their grave.
With the strong influence of social media and top local television channels, Halloween parties have become more interesting. The costumes have been more varied and it isn’t just about impressing or scaring others anymore, it’s also about who can make others laugh the most.
So here are some of the most amusing costumes we’ve found this year:
Going for the classic hero outfit? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.
