TUESDAY, Nov. 1, and Friday, Nov. 4, are public holidays the better to observe the traditional rituals of All Saints Day, Malacañang declared Tuesday.

Earlier, the Palace announced that Monday, Oct. 31, was a nonworking holiday.

But Wednesday, Nov. 2, and Thursday, Nov. 3, are regular working days, according to Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita.

Asked why Friday, Nov. 4, is a holiday, Ermita said that it was so Filipinos would have a longer weekend.

For the rest of the year, the following are nonworking holidays as contained in Proclamation Order No. 839 which was signed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo last May but reissued by the Palace Tuesday: Nov. 28 and Dec. 26, the Monday following Christmas Day, but Bonifacio Day on Nov. 30 was designated a working day.

Wala na yung Ramadan?

[graphire]

e di i-file na ng leave ang 2 and 3 para enjoy!

[Aston Martin]

ha? parang nakakaduda yung Nov 4 =(

what's with nov. 4?

[ssaloon]

mukhang inurong yung ramadan to friday para long weekend.

[konde]

if they really wanted a long weekend dapat oct 31 ang holiday para 4 days.

Wala na yung Ramadan?

nakalimutan na naman mga kapatid na muslim!

[bardigones]

there was a declaration before sa gov.ph re nov 3 as end-of-ramadan holiday. what happened?

[FrankDrebin]

Mukhang unfair yata sa mga Muslim brothers natin. Kung yung Ramadan naiurong eh di iurong na rin ang Christmas sa Friday or Monday para long weekend din.

[Boy Torotot]

parang mas logical yata na nov 2 ang gawing holiday "so Filipinos would have a longer weekend", lalo na yong umuuwi ng malalayong probinsya. di ko gets pag-iisip nila..

baka parang yong last na holiday announcement na naman yan.... para silang mga bagyo, pabago-bago ang isip.

[Boy Torotot]

Got this from the web about Ramadan...kaya siguro di na Nov. 3:

"Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Islam uses a lunar calendar—that is, each month begins with the sighting of the new moon. Because the lunar calendar is about 11 days shorter than the solar calendar used elsewhere, Islamic holidays "move" each year. In 2005 Ramadan will begin on Oct. 5.

Eid al-Fitr
Ramadan ends with the festival of Eid al-Fitr, which in 2005 occurs on November 4."

Walang panggastos for long holidays. EVAT will be implemented effective November 1. That means lahat ng gastusin as of that date will increase, primarily the costs of fuel. What a timing.

Sabi sa kumpanya ko, "Oct 31 as well as Nov 1 and Nov 4 have been declared non-working holidays by Malacanang".

[akuma]

badtrip naman... may pasok ng Nov 2 and 3...

baka mamaya bigla na namang mabago to...

[mhelskie]

alam ko declared Holiday ang Oct. 31 dati pa

[zero]

teka.. bakit katoliko at muslim lang ang may holiday? walang holiday ang iglesia ni m., born-again at iba pa?

[FrankDrebin]

teka.. bakit katoliko at muslim lang ang may holiday? walang holiday ang iglesia ni m., born-again at iba pa?

Di ba bawal sa kanila?

Holiday din sila. Dapat nga pag mahal na araw at pasko, pumapasok sila.

[rayana]

baka parang mga advertisements itong holiday announcement:
...subject to change without prior notice.

nyehehehehe

[wrecker]

buti na lang ok HR namin, nov. 2 was declared a holiday and nov. 4 a working day for us. may memo pala DOLE dito na pwedeng gawin ng companies as long as may buy-in ng muslims na employees. and nov. 4 is still a non-working day for our muslim employees.
