November 1, 2006 All Saints' Day I started off the day hearing mass at Baclaran, home of the Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The late Pope John Paul II had twice held mass here.   Kindly click on the following link : www.jaminal.8m.net for the All Saints' Day Observance
Upon a subsequent visit to Baclaran, I discovered this memorial which was set up in 2004 to commemorate those who have disappeared through political detention, kidnapping, etc. This memorial is frequented visited by their loved ones as seen by the flowers and burning candles at its foot.
