Let's Make Caloocan Great Again

Historical Background

Sangandaan Cemetery, located in Caloocan City, stands as one of the most significant public burial grounds in Metro Manila. Its name, derived from the Filipino word for "crossroads," reflects its position as a meeting point of history, culture, and community. Established in the early 20th century, the cemetery has served generations of Caloocan families and continues to preserve the memory of those who have shaped the city's heritage.

Over the decades, the cemetery has witnessed the growth and transformation of Caloocan from a humble municipality into one of the most populous cities in the Philippines. It remains a place where the living come to remember, honor, and connect with their roots.

A Place of Remembrance & Community

Sangandaan Cemetery is more than a burial ground — it is a gathering place for Caloocan families, especially during Undas (All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day), when thousands of visitors come together to pray, light candles, and honor their departed loved ones.

The cemetery grounds serve as a quiet refuge within the bustling city, offering families a sacred space to grieve, celebrate lives well-lived, and keep memories alive across generations. Community activities organized by the local government help maintain the dignity and cleanliness of the grounds throughout the year.
