ito bro sagot, holiday economics won't work in the philippines...
i understand your point, and yes i agree with you but your point doesn't work in the philippines. it will only work if we already have a stable economy, until then it doesn't do any good to our economy to have holidays out of nowhere.

The extended weekend idea was good when the philippine economy was going well. But that is years ago. Today the economy is still barely getting back.
Best to cut down on the number of extended weekends. I think most people would enjoy more money in their pockets especially these days when money is scarce for most filipinos.

August 12th, 2010 04:50 PM #24well there are pros and cons, pero para sa akin ang nakakainis e yung pabago bago stand ng government. una nagissue ng statement na irerespeto yung holiday economics, the next day iba na naman. i think disruptive sa na-plan na schedule ng both employees and employers which is usually done at the start of the year. sana naman maging consistent sila at huwag magbago ng rules pagmalapit na. just my two cents.

August 12th, 2010 05:36 PM #25Good point. But "no work = no pay" is a long standing labor policy used in the manufacturing industry that should have been outlawed from the beginning. Casual employment (otherwise known as Contractualization) is something that has been raised as a problem by labor groups. You can always point a finger at greedy businessmen that uses anti-labor policies or you can always blame the laws for being too antiquated.
IMO every Filipino citizen regardless of his work tenure status (regular/contractual) should enjoy the benefits of lawfully declared public holiday WITH pay. Something the Labor code should have explicitly pointed out in the first place.
This is why I work till I lose my wits. So that my three children won't have to be factory workers. Because I know how grossly unfairly treated our blue-collar workers here are compared to other countries.

Economic holiday! Para nyo na ring sinabing ang daming perang gagastusin ang pinoy. Most of them eh nasa bahay lang, nagtitipid dahil walang pang gastos.

August 12th, 2010 06:34 PM #29I've been processing and approving a lot of client communications and announcements in line to reverting this working holiday.
Such quick changes could also affect operations of foreign exhange houses and bourses in other countries where we are trading. I could imagine how busy the Philippine Stock Exchange is now, reverting skeds and reminding overseas counterparts that 23 will not be a banking holiday anymore, thus trade and settlement dates have to be re-adjusted.
What an inconvenience!

There are things that money can't buy. Even if people don't go out and spend their money during a holiday, they can still be afforded the luxury of staying home to bond with their families and friends.
A healthy family = a healthy worker = a more productive worker in the end. These workers (like me) are the workhorse of a company.
They can take the much needed rest that could help them recharge and rejuvenate their systems ready for the next working day.
sinabi moh! i hardly see my children now. when they were young, schedules were more predictable.
Traffic!
