Don’t get me wrong, the more holidays the Philippines has, the more money Baguio City makes because we always get a healthy volume of tourists the minute a long weekend is announced. But recent proposed legislation caught my eye and I cannot say I agree with it.
A recent news item about Congress eyeing seven (7) more holidays, on top of the 10 legal holidays already included in the Labor Code of the Philippines plus the numerous special holidays declared by the President of the Philippines whenever she feels like declaring the same.
