Celebrated every end of October preceding both the All Saints Day and All Souls Day, Halloween has had its fair share of recognition from several cultures across the globe. Locally, this time of the year is best known as the first day of a two to three-day holiday when families commemorate their deceased loved ones by attending special church services and visiting their graves.
In the more urban areas, Halloween cannot take place without the customary trick or treats, costume parties, visiting scary destinations and watching horror videos. As their own personal treat, these hotels in the Philippines have come up with exclusive packages to help you, your family and friends have the ultimate hair-raising time this Halloween!
