PREVIEW

Twelve-year-old mason Takèn cleans a grave marker for free ahead of All Souls’ Day (Undas) at the Nasugbu Catholic Cemetery. Despite working through the hot noon sun, Takèn and his 11-year-old friend, Jobert, have yet to find paying clients. Ahead of the holiday, residents typically hire local craftsmen, including painters, calligraphers, and masons, to refurbish tombs as a traditional sign of respect for their deceased loved ones.
