Filipinos celebrate the feast of All Saints Day for the same reason all Catholics celebrate it - to honor the thousands and thousands of unrecognized saints in Heaven whose names are known only to God and who have no individual feast day as do the named saints. They celebrate All Souls Day to honor and pray for the souls of those who have died and may be in Purgatory awaiting entry into Heaven.
