Holiday on August 21 and 30
0August 30 which is our National Heroes Day was declared by Malaca?ang as holiday.
Former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo had already plotted the holidays for this year to allow businesses to adjust schedules and promote productivity. However, the Aquino administration had revised some of the holiday schedules.
After reviewing the Proclamation 1841 signed by former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declaring the regular holidays, special (non-working) days and special holidays for the academic year 2010, Malaca?ang had retained August 30 as non-working holiday.
Meanwhile, August 21 would be the holiday in observance of Ninoy Aquino Day instead of August 23.
Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said that the administration is not trying to repeal the holiday economics law, which requires that most holidays, except those with religious significance, be shifted to the nearest Monday.
