(ang libingan ng mga magulang ko ay ninakaw ang steel bars, atbp.) PAUNAWA KO LANG SA MGA PULIS-BARAS NA HIGPITAN AT MANMANAN ANG PUBLIC CEMETERY NA GINAGAWANG LUGAR NA TAMBAYAN NG MGA ADDICT AT MGA MAGNANAKAW. bakit maraming magnanakaw sa baras cemetery? hindi mahuli ng mga pulis-baras.

Most of them was already told in the article. But the music was not mentioned. In the early days, people bring guitar to play music during the wake. But now, I learned that people play videoke on wake. I forgot what my grandmothers told me why there was music, with guitar playing. And now, I have a hard time comprehending why videoke. Well, one of my grandmothers died just recently and my mother told me that it was fun having the videoke during her wake. Her great grandchildren were singing. Since I know my grandmother to be a very happy music-loving person, I never complained about the videoke. If her spirit was around during the wake, I'm positive she was having a great fun, too! Herbert, does your mother knows that she was mentioned in this article? And in the "take home" section pa! Hehehe! Anyway, as far as I remember, giving "take home" food to the prayer group, mostly the elders of our church, who are doing the pasiyam and 40-days, just became a practice of appreciation of the family to the group who are doing the prayers for nothing. Hermanos and hermanas loved to have candies coz they already quit smoking and candies are the substitute for the cigars. For some who never smoke, they just accepted the candies coz they were offered. This "death culture" in Baras written here was Catholics' practice. How about the other religions' "death practice?"
