Sans tombs of loves ones, kin of desaparecidos mark Undas at Bantayog

With no graves to lay flowers and light candles on for All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, loved ones of ‘desaparecidos’ or victims of enforced disappearances gathered at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani in Quezon City on Friday.

They marked the occasion with a mass followed by a procession in memory of their loved ones who were never found.

Many of the attendees have been reeling since the martial law regime imposed by late dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Some were troubled more recently in the wake of President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs. —NB, GMA News
