I did a serependity walk at the memorial park and simply observed what were people selling to earn a living and/or make people enjoy their stay at the memorial park: to make "lusog busog" (satisfy the hunger), sell trinkets for children to enjoy and while the hours, and much much more. The flower, markers, construction, grasses, landscaping are core suppliers business to the memorial park, not to mention construction materials. But how many businesses thrive on all saints all souls day near the cemeteries and memorial parks? So many. The income may be enough to see them through Christmas?

It is heartening and encouraging to see the enterprise and commercial/entrepreneurial spirit alive even in such a venue. People or where people congregate always is the greatest opportunity for people who see THAT opportunity. From R110083
