It’s another long weekend for our non – call center friends! Malacañang yesterday declared May 3 as a non – working holiday throughout the country. This is to commemorate Labor day May 1 which happen to fall on a Saturday.
Based from gmanews.tv:
The new edict is in line with the government’s thrust of encouraging holiday economics, which provides employees a longer weekend, encouraging them to go out of town and hopefully spur the country’s tourism industry.
“(It also) encourages families to get together and strengthen their relationship towards a more productive environment, as well as promotes domestic tourism and enables employers to plan their work schedules effectively and efficiently, resulting in improved productivity which is achieved whether the holiday falls on Friday or Monday,” Mendoza said in the issuance.
