P-Noy has just declared August 30, Monday, National Heroes Day, as a non-working holiday. This is good news! Although it would have been better if August 23, also a Monday, would be declared also as a non-working holiday.
Honestly, I was so disappointed that August 23 is a working day. You see, I already filed a leave of absence for August 24 and scheduled an out-of-town trip for the supposed to be long weekend... (sigh)
I guess that leaves me no choice but to make new arrangements and pray that this is just a blessing in disguise.
