People in the Philipines is known to be very Family Oriented so All souls day is Celebrated every 2nd Day of November. All souls day is seen as a holiday tradition to gather with loved ones who are still alive and give honor to those who passed on. This particular holiday is called "UNDAS or Araw ng mga Patay" its considered to be a family holiday. Every UNDAS feels more likely to be a Family Reunion than a wild party for most of Filipino Families are gathered to visit their lost loved ones in the cemetery and clean their graves. They offer prayers, flowers, candles and even foods. Its also a best time to strengthen the relationship or bond of every family members! It remind us that we should cherish our time while we are still alive. Do good things, and spread love to all people around you.

If you had heard of the family culture that is seen in the Philippines, I am trying to show the world the value of the family by setting an example with my children and my wife, although you are much more advanced in family culture and really which is admirable. Now I did not know that celebration. How do relatives who live far away or in other countries?

That's a good practice sir! If I become a parent someday I'll do the same.
For your question,relatives who live far away celebrate it through video calls and others offer prayers in their own way.

Sure you will!! 👍, that's very good, that's how it is when my brother who is in Panama can't come in December, we welcome the new year with him by video call.
