Malacanang yesterday declared September 7, this coming Monday, a National Day of Mourning and Prayer for the late leader Ka Erdie Manalo of the Iglesia ni Cristo. Hence, it is a Special Non-working Holiday in the country. Likewise, September 21, also a Monday, was declared as another Special Non-working Holiday in observance of the Eid'l Fitr which is celebrated by our Muslim brothers.
While watching the Evening news last night, there was a surge of text messages as the good news spread like wildfire among our office mates that it's going to be a national holiday on Monday. Everyone was ecstatic. However, I texted my friend who is a businessman, for him, unexpected holidays like these are bad news because it would mean low income. My Tita Malou, meanwhile sent me an e-mail telling me that it's amusing that there has been a Holiday spree declared by the government since last month. Remember there were three holidays in August.
Anyways, I am happy that it's going to be another long weekend because it means more time to spend with my mom and more time to blog. Woohoo!!
here naman nel..it's holiday, sept. 7, kasi labor day...^^V
