Or yesterday - past 12 na pala.
Eid Mubarak!

Inurong ni Jr. yung mismong death anniversary from the 21st to the 23rd.
Marcos moves Ninoy Aquino holiday to Aug. 23, 2 24 | GMA News Online
Many people book flights months in advance in anticipation of these holidays. Weekdays, particularly in the middle of the week, are a good time to fly since flights are usually not as full and airports are less congested.
I'm sure there was also a lot of people who weren't happy with the last minute holiday change.
Yun mga rebel without a cause pwede naman sila pumasok pa din sa 23rd. Wala naman nagpipigil sa kanila. Para 3 days lang weekend nila.
Baka yan pa ang mga mauuna mag out of town sa Friday.

Hehe that's me!
But I don't mind the change at all, now my leave will be unconsumed.
I would think majority (aside from the historians) would be in favor of this reorganization of holidays.
Having a one day break in the middle of the week tends to make people momentarily lose track of things.

It is the second consecutive time that the palace did not declare the EDSA Revolution Anniversary as a holiday. The first one last year received backlash from critics, with a group calling the non-declaration as start of "state-sponsored historical whitewashing".
The Office of the President that time said it was not treated as a holiday since it falls on a Sunday. However, EDSA People Power Anniversary in 2025 is Tuesday.
Safe travels, gents and ladies!
I'm staying put to enjoy the less-busy city![]()
