GoodNewsCorner: This family has a unique tradition in honoring their deceased patriarch through painting his tomb with his favorite brands such as Jollibee. | via philstarlife
Jose Reodique's place of rest has been a tradition of theirs for over 10 years now, having started in 2013.
When asked why they chose Jollibee as its design this time around, she recounted how her father would always cook her and her siblings some fried chicken for lunch every Sunday back when they were younger.He fondly called the fried chicken"Jollibee," which Angelle thought was a bit strange since the fast food restaurant didn't have any branches in their province during the early 90s. Because of this, they all started referring to the dish as"Jollibee," too.
"Natutuwa at kinagigiliwan siya ng mga tao. Kasi para na din siyang naging attraction sa cemetery tuwing Undas. Hindi naman namin aakalain na magte-trending sya sa socmed," she said. Before Jollibee, they previously painted Jose's grave with brands such as Adidas, Ferrari, Starbucks, Johnnie Walker Black Label, Bulgari, Lacoste, M&M's Chocolate, Doublemint, and Alpine.She described her father, who died at the age of 70 from a heart attack, as a person who did not care much about traditional views.
"Ang father ko, hindi siya traditional na tao at hindi siya naniniwala sa mga kasabihan. Kaya kapag Undas, pinapa-paint namin 'yung tomb niya ng mga favorite niyang brand noong nabubuhay pa siya and at the same time, may mga story naman behind kung bakit 'yun ang brand na napili naming ipapinta," Angelle said.Masayahing tao ang father ko, at yung love niya sa'min ay walang katumbas kaya ganun na lang siya namin ma-miss," she added.
