Great news for all those coming up to watch the Panagbenga 2008 Parades to be held on Feb 23 and 24!
You do not have to rush back to work on Sunday, February 24 because, unlike last year, Gloria Arroyo has declared this February 25 a non-working holiday, changing her mind from a previous pronouncement that it was to be a special working holiday.
Of course this is probably because there is a planned huge rally on the occasion of the 22nd People Power Anniversary in light of the huge NBN-ZTE scandal that is rocking the nation. She probably wants as many folks as possible to be on holiday so maybe there’ll be less attendance for the rallies.
I say this because she put a damper on last year’s Panagbenga celebrations when she did not declare it a holiday, so it’s not like she’s doing this as a favor to Baguio City.
Connie (Sassy Lawyer / Pinoy Cook) who was in Baguio covering the Panagbenga and was so disappointed that their family vacation had to be cut short can attest to this.
So for you who have made plans to come up this weekend, consider staying an extra day for shopping or to take in all the other activities Panagbenga 2008 has in store. But we will understand if you’re rushing back to Manila to join the demonstrations, too.
For somebody is pulling all the stops so she can hang on to an office that she has no longer any moral authority to occupy…
