Dialog in Filipino: (NOVEMBER 2023):
N: Cindy, ito ang libingan ng pamilya namin. Handa ka na ba sa live report mo tungkol sa
Undas sa Pilipinas?
C: Fully charged na ang baterya! Ang laki naman ng mga libingan rito. Parang mga bahay!
N: Iba’t ibang klase ... Mayroon ding parang mga apartments o may dalawang palapag.
Iyung iba ay may sariling kasilyas at may kusina rin.
C: Maghapon o magdamag bang narito ang buong pamilya?
N: Aba, oo. Dumadalaw rin kasi sa mga puntod ang kanilang mga kamag-anak. Parang
reunion ng mga pamilya.
C: Kaya pala may nakita akong may mga dalang mga kaldero at kawali. Mukhang
maghahanda sila para sa isang handaan.
N: May maririnig ka ring naggigitara at nagkakaraoke! Minsan masakit sa tenga. Nag-
tetengang kawali na lang ang marami.
C: Kaya pala nagtatagal ang mga tao ng buong araw sa libingan ng pamilya nila.
N: Aba, oo naman! Tradisyon natin iyan, kasi espesyal na araw ito para makasama nila ang
mga pumanaw na mahal sa buhay nila.
C: Iyan pala ang dahilan kaya dinadayo na rin ng mga turista ang Undas sa Pilipinas.
N: Uy, tinatawag na tayo ng pinsan ko! Tikman na raw natin ang lechon kawali!!!
Dialog in English (NOVEMBER 2023):
N: Cindy, this is our family’s tomb. Are you ready for the live coverage of All Soul’s Day in
the Philippines?
C: The battery is fully charged. The tombs in your province are big. They are like houses!
N: There are various types... apartment types or 2-storey buildings. Others have their own
toilets and kitchen.
C: Do the whole families stay here all day long or all-night?
N: Well, yes. Because relatives come to visit the tombs, too. It’s like a reunion of the
families.
C: That’s why I saw someone carrying pots and skillets. It looks like they will be preparing
for a feast.
N: You will also hear someone playing the guitar and singing karaoke! Sometimes, it’s ear-
piercing. A lot of people just turned a deaf ear.
C: That’s why people spend the whole day at their family tomb.
N: Well, of course! That’s our tradition, because it’s a special day for them to be with their
loved ones who have passed away.
C: That’s the reason why tourists are also coming to visit during All Souls’s Day in the
Philippines.
N: Hey, my cousin is calling us! She wants us to taste the lechon kawali!!!
