PNoy Declares August 31 as a non-holiday, therefore August 31 is now just a regular working day! A few days ago, the president has already expressed his inclination NOT to make August 23 a holiday. So much for scheduling Philippine Holidays.
The palace expressed that the revision of Proclamation 1841 making August 23 to become a regular working day and returning it to August 21 as the non-working holiday was meant to unburden local businesses of another unnecessary holiday.
“The purpose for observing Ninoy Aquino Day on August 21 instead of August 23 is to avoid the imposition of unnecessary financial burden upon the employers,… business, and commercial transaction, promote productivity, while at the same time preserve the solemnity of the observance,” as released in the Palace statement.
The Philippine Holidays has been planned out for the year, last year and it could have been much better to have implemented this, let's say perhaps next year? or the next years of his term?
What are your thoughts on the modifications of our Philippine Holidays?
