One thing new this year is the fact that EDSA People Power Revolution Anniversary is now a Non-Working Holiday when in the previous years, it’s always only no school day and no work for government employees.
Separate proclamations will be issued for the observance of Eid’l Fitr and Eidul Adha.
Employees who are required to work on these days shall be paid premium according to their company’s policy.
Time to plan ahead and plan great vacations to rock 2016!!!
