FILIPINOS had different plans for themselves for the 2024 Halloween celebration.
With All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day declared as special non-working holidays in the country, people got to spend quality time for themselves and their loved ones.
While thousands flocked to cemeteries to visit their departed family members, others went out with friends, participated in a Halloween event, went on a trip, and celebrated milestones.
Just like them, some local celebrities also took a break from their busy schedules and made sure that their special non-working holidays were well spent.
Let’s take a look at how these stars celebrated this year’s Halloween season:
