When my daughter said she wants to go the cemetery, I said I don’t want to go with her. I don’t want to go to a cemetery. She said it’s not a real cemetery but only a make-believe, kunwari lang. O sige, sama na ako.
There’s a sixty pesos entrance fee per person. For seniors and students, it’s 50% off.
I am not yet a senior and Oyen is no longer a student so we paid P120.
The Cemetery of Negativism is inside Camp John Hay. It was established sometime in the 80s by an American general named John Hightower.
The novel idea was to bury negative thoughts and emotions.
And bad attitudes too.
Let’s read what the marker at the entrance says:
“Negativism is man’s greatest self-imposed infliction. his most limiting factor, his heaviest burden. No more, for here is buried the world’s negativism for all time. Those who rest here have died not in vain, but for you a stern reminder.”
Just can’t shake it
A truly miserable day
Why didn’t I?
Not a team player
it’s not possible
Will not last
The marker also says:
“As you leave this hill for the rest of your life, be more positive.
Have a good day. Treat today like it’s your last…”
