It's Another Holiday!

Before P-Noy changes his mind, let me spread first this good news:

November 16 is a National Holiday!

Accordingly, Proclamation No. 60 was signed declaring Tuesday, November 16, 2010, as a national holiday in observance of Eid'l-Adha (Feast of Sacrifice).

Trivia (because I didn't know this before):  Eid'l-Adha is one of the two greatest feast of Islam.  (So, could it be that Eid'l Fit-r is the other one?)

This is indeed great not only for Muslims but especially for me who, once in a while, wants to take a break from work and... school.  :)

It's Another Long Weekend Ahead

It was only yesterday when I asked my officemates when would the next non-working holiday be.  We were thinking of the coming barangay elections that we forgot about the "Eid ul- Fitr" or the festivities for the end of Ramadan.

Malacañang has just announced that September 10 is a non-working holiday in observance of the end of Muslims' holy month of fasting.

Although I am thankful that President Aquino signed Proclamation 26 for the said holiday, I am still disappointed that he did not declare August 23 as a non-working holiday.

The past is haunting me! Or am I?  Hehehe
