[badkuk]

[FrankDrebin]

Ipit nga yung Oct 31, Nov 2 at Nov 4. So where do we go from here?

[mazdamazda]

alang compromise eh... pero yung Nov2 mukhang gagawing holiday na rin.

[111prez]

November 4 Friday (Who would want to go to work on a Friday after a long break?)
November 5 Saturday

not unless saturday is a regular working day. sa mga transport related companies, saturday is a regular working day.

that was one of the disadvantages of working in a transport company

[ian_rex]

confirmed na ba ito? pag nagkataon, ang haba nga nyan. maasikaso ko na yung mga sasakyan namin. hehehehe.

well...if it's any consolation, me half day work din kami on saturdays :p

[jerkky]

bakit sa calendar eh november 4 ang Eid-Ul-Fitr (last day of ramadan)? kung tama yung nasa calendar, ipit lang ang nov 2 and 3. kung 2 days, baka may pasok pa yan.....
