Assuuuu...sundin naman kaya ang mga ini ni GMA? Ahmshyur ma-magikin niya yan: papalitan, dadagdagan, babawiin, depende sa kung sino'ng may kailangan...
I hope the next president will stop the practice of imposing "holiday economics" and revert holidays on the exact days when they should be commemorated. That way the meaning of the event will not be lost in the midst of weekend getaways and mall sales.
I agree with Yael...especially those holidays that has something to do with our heroes or historical events.
I hope the next Prez will continue the practice of holiday economics because this actually helps our economy as it encourages people to go out with family or friends and spend their holidays out of town, thus helping businesses like hotels, restaurants, resorts, etc to earn. Holiday economics actually boosts businesses and contributes to job generation. Now is this a bad thing? I think this is more practical as more Filipinos need to earn.
okay naman ang economic holiday FYI - a holiday is being commemorated on its exact date, economic holiday is only to benefit an employee for a long holiday weekend so kahit na anong holiday economic payan, the government or the prople who wants to commemorate it still stage the event on its exact date
january 25, 2010 should be a non-working holiday ..
are we celebrating again the EDSA Revolution Anniversary in wrong date??? Sana sa February 25th na lang, maging holiday in all government employees.... pls... pls....
