bangkay-bangkayan
A time (usually three or seven days) of watching over the bed where a recently deceased person slept.
Are you having a time of standing watch over the deceased person's bed at your house later?
mag--redup-an
To stand watch over the place where a recently deceased person used to sleep on his bed. (There are several people who sit around and play board games, cards, etc. to keep the family members company. There is always someone watching the bed where the deceased person slept for three or seven days. It is believed that by doing this the spirit of the deceased person will stay with the family for that period of time.)
There is always a close family member on guard next to the place where the deceased person died. At this time of standing watch over the bed, a religious leader will go to the grave every afternoon to say s.t. over the grave.
Bong jama luu pangabut na, masti' magbangkay-bangkayan ja' ya supaya ya' na pin lakka aruwa paglūng da bay matoy man bay limpa' patulihan na.
If a person has the means, he will have a celebration so that the spirit of his family member who died will not leave the place where he slept on his bed.
