Malacañang apologized for taking back an earlier announcement declaring November 27 and 28 as special non-working holidays all over the country

Bad news for those who have already planned their vacation for the long weekend at the of this month.
 

Malacañang has announced that Nov. 27 and 28 would no longer be national holidays as originally declared earlier this year. Previous Proclamation No. 1808-A, issued by President Arroyo last Monday, amended the original Proclamation No. 1808, which declared the two days as national holidays in celebration of the Muslim feast of Eid’l Adha as holidays only in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and not all over the country.

With the issuance of the new proclamation, the workforce would still enjoy a somewhat long weekend since Nov. 30 (Monday) would still be a national holiday for the commemoration of the birthday of national hero Andres Bonifacio.


Relax. Ayos lang yan. May Holiday pa din.
