I think, the Hukas Lalaw is celebrated 40 days after the burial date. I'm not so sure about the exact number of days. I do know that important customs regarding death in the Philippines are observed on the 3rd day after the person's death, the 9th day after burial and the 40th day after burial. This is called Pa-Siyam. Actually the correct term is “Hukas Lalaw” which refers to the taking down of the black flag that’s hung outside a home to show the people in that house are grieving.
