Hal Boyle's Notebook BT HAL BOYLE Manila (JP) Shantytown set tlements are scattered throughout Manila and one of the most un usual lies in an ancient Chinese cemetery. These squatters among the dead are homeless Filipinos who have built rude bamboo and palm thatch shelters between costly Chi nese tombs. With no superstitious awe of hidden bones that lie around them.

barefoot Filipino children shriek happily in this, strange playground while their mothers cook the eve nine meal, thoughtless of other wives reposing silently under the stones who have foregone life's tasks and whose household fires long have been cold. Watchdogs bark among the tombs whenever a wayfarer in the cemetery passes near the bamboo huts. It is an eerie community, but there is no rent to pay. Some squatters actually make money here. They are paid to trim me mortal tree and grass lawns on the tombs of wealthy Chinese.

Some are able to keep their families by tills means. Manila has a large Chinese population and it has a large and or nate cemetery. It is a wilderness of stone figures ai.d colorful designs. Many of the tombs are beautiful and elaborate and look more like open houses than graves. The Chinese bury their dead with more ceremony and expense than is sual in most lands and seem to remember them more in othr ways than is customary in busy America.

No matter how he may have to scrimp to live, th poorest Chinese likes to go to his gods in an of the style and greatness his purse and that of his family can afford. He doesn't want to go empty-handed Into the hereafter. During burial cervices, family and friends lay gifts of food on the tcmo so tne oeaa one won go hungry to heaven. After a period of prayer, they eat the food and listen to music. Gay music Kecenuy, two widows of one rich Chinese met unexpectedly a his tomb on holiday.

Instead of a memorial picnic, there was an old-fashioned hair pulling. They had argued over his will. Adjoining Catholic and Protes tant cemeteries hold the same ro man tic fascination for young lov ers as do graveyards in the United States at night. Two young Filipino boys with guitars have set up in business in one cemetery. They sit on a tomb and serenade a parked couple until they are paid to go and sit on an other tomb farther away.
