Trick or Treat!!!

Majority of the Filipino population observe All Saint's Day and All Soul's Day which falls on November 1 and 2 respectively. Filipinos remember their dead, clean the graves, and decorate them with flowers. 

While the purpose is somber, the effect is a picnic, full of merrymaking and laughter. Everyone goes to the cemetery, and some even stay overnight. 

Asia's EMS Institute, Inc. will deploy its medical service team - Compass EAST at Toril Memorial Park to give medical assistance and consultations to the public who will be visiting their departed loved ones. At the same token, we will also have our offline survey for MY World. United Nations Global Survey for a Better World.
