A usual All Souls/Saints day and a festive Christmas can be celebrated together, that's no problem with memorial park developer Forest Lake. They've proven this already by doing UNDASKO twice over the years, and on their 3rd installment, it's bigger, better and totally fun! Last October 15th, the whole Forest Lake in Biñan Laguna was set to become a place for festivities as they did it again by encouraging families to remember the lives of their loved ones and had them all together organized by Total Memorial Care. I'm sure you've seen one of the nicest comedians lately in the news as Ate Gay and her friends did "Habang Naririto Ka: A Celebration of Life for Ate Gay". Instead of doing a tribute when a person is no longer here, they did it when she's still here which many Filipinos found so positive as friends and family celebrated her life while she can still see it, and still hear it. I found how she really appreciated the gesture and they got to thank her profusely in that event, and I think I love the thought of it. The testimonies were real, and she received it wholeheartedly.
At the location, they also did a Christmas Tree lighting event for their 42 sites, then did a free concert too later in the evening. They had music and entertainment which people enjoyed, donning the theme "Celebrate Life, Remember with Love" that exactly captures the moment. UNDASKO this year certainly felt good, while they still did the usual ceremonies, they made it a little more entertaining for the celebrant, families and friends with the living funeral. They lit the Christmas trees and decorations too to the delight of the public.
At Forest Lake in Biñan, concert performers included Ate Gay, Boobsie Wonderland, Henry G, AJ, and a couple of their friends so folks were laughing throughout the day, it was so much fun! They also had PPOP group AZTER perform their best hits, while keeping it respectful and meaningful on some parts, and hope the families create things like these to prepare for their loved ones in the future. It is worth it to celebrate with them, to create memories while they are still here. They deserve to be loved and treasured too.
