MANILA: For many Filipinos, pets are more than just animals; they are family. As we approach Undas (All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day on Nov 2), dedicated to honouring our dearly departed, some Filipinos extend this reverence to their furry and feathered life companions.

Pet cemeteries and crematoriums across the country have become sanctuaries where owners can continue their bond with beloved pets, preserving memories and sharing final tributes.
