October 24: A Holiday

Dear Me,

Even though I know it, I still didn't expect it to be. For one, PGMA has been pretty inconsistent about holiday declarations.

While checking my inbox, my mom came to me. Guess she wanted to chat. =) On the side, she mentioned that October 24 is a regular holiday -
the Eid'l Fitr, the Muslim Feast of Ramadhan. To make sure it was for real, I checked the Malacanan website and found this.

October 24 falls on a Tuesday. I hope she won't think of moving it to Monday. For me, moving a religious holiday to another day just for the reason of maximizing the weekend as vacation is a sign of disrespect.

  6. [jerine] - i really don't know but here in the Philippines, we spell it like that. Maybe it varies by country...


    [cruise] - i have a project running but the boss says i can have a break...=)

    [jamie] - it's 24 actually...

    [johnheart] - it's a religious observance for the Muslims and I believe that holiday economics shouldn't be applied in cases like this. It's outright disrespect.

    [the artist] - finally, i have you here..:)
