PIA - Monday is non-working day, and that's holiday economics working again.
By virtue of Proclamation 9492, workers get a breather from their endeavors as the law provides that holidays, except those religious in nature are moved to the nearest Monday.
Although the Proclamation was amended, it was still adopted by RA 1463, which declared certain days as regular or special holiday for 2008.
The day-off is one taken in lieu of June 12, the country's 110th independence day celebration, which falls on a Thursday.
In the past years, holidays were lumped with the week-ends to allow people longer rests when people can also profitably use the holidays to visit places in the country.
The move was proposed by tourism authorities to boost local travel.
While the country rests on Monday, independence day rites are not moved and are still slated Thursday, when regular socio-civic activities are set. - Rey Chiu
