MANILA BULLETIN
Candles selling like hot cakes in Cabanatuan
Candle makers here are making a virtual killing as this city celebrates All Saints Day and All Souls Day. Candles in varied shapes, colors, and scents are selling like hot cakes. Ordinarily, candle would cost only a few pesos, but on this occasion, the item “costs an arm and a leg.” Designer-item candles which bear sculpted designs were lighted in past years to mark tombs. A reminder to all cemetery-goers, flower-or candle-bearing or simply on-lookers: Say earnest prayers for the dearly departed. It helps to say a prayer for the kindred souls. Especially for those in limbo. (Magtanggol Vilar)
