TUESDAY, Nov. 1, and Friday, Nov. 4, are public holidays the better to observe the traditional rituals of All Saints Day, Malacañang declared Tuesday.
Earlier, the Palace announced that Monday, Oct. 31, was a nonworking holiday.
But Wednesday, Nov. 2, and Thursday, Nov. 3, are regular working days, according to Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita.
Asked why Friday, Nov. 4, is a holiday, Ermita said that it was so Filipinos would have a longer weekend.
For the rest of the year, the following are nonworking holidays as contained in Proclamation Order No. 839 which was signed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo last May but reissued by the Palace Tuesday: Nov. 28 and Dec. 26, the Monday following Christmas Day, but Bonifacio Day on Nov. 30 was designated a working day.
