[chua_riwap]

Walang additional incentives sa mga papasok sa Jan. 22. Bakit na-declare pa itong "Special" working holiday?

Sabi ni Ate Glo, ano raw, "in recognition daw of the importance of the Chinese New Year"

Haaaaaaay! Naku! Sige na nga!

joke ba ito? bakit "by the president of the president" ang nakalagay?

[mbt]

kung walang bonus pay, ano yung practical significance ng "special working holiday"? mukhang politicking nga...

[boybi]

to make the workers feel that day is special and they will be more productive, thus increasing the profit of businesses, hence businessmen, particularly chinese businessmen, will praise GMA. therefore, additional votes from the chinese bloc. so, kagaya ng sinabi ni mbt, politicking.

[TJMaxx]

GMA, you stupid syet!!
You don't deserve another term as President!!

walang premium..***.
