Abstract/Summary
HanapBUHAY: HanapPATAY is a documentary that tells the story of three death workers who make a living out of death and the dead. They are the blue collar workers who are involved in the manual labor of the death industry. Ben Pineda is a coffin maker in Sto. Tomas, Pampanga. Rudy Acedebo is a member of a funeral marching band in Cagayan Valley. Edgardo Cantal is a grave caretaker in Manila Memorial Park, Paranaque. The documentary shows that although death workers play a significant role in society by making a living out of caring for our dead, they are also the ones who are more often than not unrecognized and unappreciated.
