MANILA, Philippines -- Monday, April 30, will be a regular working day while Labor Day, May 1, will be a non-working holiday, the Office of the Executive Secretary said Tuesday.

Malacañang has adopted the recommendation of Labor Secretary Arturo Brion to keep Labor Day on Tuesday because moving it to April 30 will be disadvantageous to both business and the workers, especially to daily wage earners.

To give workers a long weekend, Malacañang usually declares as non-working holiday the day that is in between the weekend and the official holiday.

But Brion said this would disrupt the schedules of businesses and would affect daily wage earners.

May 1 is not among the possible holidays cited in Proclamation 1211 released by Malacañang in January, which includes declaring April 7, a Saturday a special non-working holiday, having been sandwiched between Good Friday and Easter Sunday; June 11, a Monday, might be declared a non-working holiday while June 12, Tuesday, Independence Day, might be declared a working day; November 2, Friday, might also be declared a special non-working day following for the observance of All Saints Day on November 1; December 24, Monday, to be declared a special non-working day, being sandwiched by the weekend and Christmas Day, a regular holiday.

Ang hirap dito kasi sa atin pag naisipan lang na ideclare yung holiday kahit hindi nga holiday natin gagawin pa ding holiday ng gobyerno,kaya nga eto, kahit ako nalilito sa mga holiday natin.

[straker]

During the Marcos years....yung "sandwich" days, trapped by a weekend and a holiday, will also be declared a holiday.Even if a holiday fell on a Sunday, the following Monday is also a holiday.

So sad, those days are loong gone.

Hello to tsikot community,
Hindi dapat mag holiday ang April 30 dahil malaki ang ang mawawala sa businessmen, ang mga bangko sarado until May 1, marami na tayong holiday, wag na sana dagdagan.

[Zeus]

Sa Jun 10-11 na lang mag out of town

[chain]

we can't cancel because of reservations that were made already. oh well, holiday or not, tuloy pa rin kami...
