it's official....august 23, 2010 is a holiday.....a regular WORKING holiday.....i just got this information on the net....our president noynoy aquino reportedly chose to celebrate the death anniversary of his father on his actual death day which is august 21....it's a saturday.....
last year, then president gloria macapagal arroyo declared august 23 as a holiday -- part of her holiday economics....i wonder if her being the one who declared this is the reason why it was changed....it appears that president noynoy has a ddiferent reason...in fairness...it was said that he is trying to avoid the imposition of unnecessary burden upon the employers, ensure the continuity of government, business, and commercial transaction, promote productivity, while at the same time preserve the solemnity of the observance....this came from lacierda which i got from yahoo.....
what is a regular working holiday?....based on what happened during the president's first sona, employees need to report to work...so why is it called a holiday?.....i don't know.....do employees get additional pay?.....i don't know.....if they do then the first reason why that laciera gave will not be achieved (unnecessary finanacial burden...).....this is confusing in a way....besides, if august 21 is already a non-working holiday, why declare august 23 a regular working holiday....if it is going to be celebrated already on the actual day, what is the point of doing it again on the 23rd....can it not be just one?....august 21 as non-working holiday or august 23 as non-working holiday....no in-betweens....(i would prefer august 23 to be non-working holiday =>)........
what do you guys think......
