News from the Philippine Information Agency - 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 - PIA

The Rich Should Not Buy NFA-Supplied Rice
As reported by Philippine Information Agency - Ang NFA rice, gi-subsidize sa kagamhanan alang lamang sa mga kabus, ug dili unta angay sawhan sa mga adunahan.
Sa padayong nga pagdaghan sa mga katawhang mipila aron makapalit sa baratong humay nga NFA, mihangyo na ang Malakanyang sa mga adunahan nga dili na unta moapil sa pag pila.
Gipasabot ni Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita nga ang NFA rice gilantaw lamang nga makatabang sa mga kabus aron makalahutay sa kalisud nga nasinati karon ssa nasud.
Ang hangyo sa kagamhanan gipunting ngadto sa mga katawhang may kakayahan nga mopalit sa komersyal nga humay. Kini aron maseguro nga ang humay sa NFA moabot gayud sa mas gakinahanglan niini.
Niini nga paagi, sumpay ni Ermita, mas matabangan ang kadtong menos ang kita sa pagpaneguro nga may kan-on matag adlaw.
Wala usab ilimod sa mga NFA parish outlets nga may makalusot gayud nga mga arang-arangan nga mopalit sa humay kay wala man usab balaod kabahin niini.
Sa laing bahin, matud ni NFA Bohol Assistant Manager Ma. Fe Evasco, gihatagan lamang ug maximum nga 5 ka kilo nga NFA ang ibaligya sa matag pumapalit, bisan pa nga may namatikdang mga bata nga gipa-apil ug pila sa pangindahay nga mas daghan ang mapalit sa usa ka pamilya. - Rey Chiu - PIA Correspondent

Bohol Chocolate Hills No. 4 Among 77 Semi-Finalists in New Seven Wonders Search
Bohol Philippines - Lovers of Bohol's Chocolate Hills have reason to rejoice - the world renowned natural wonder last night climbed to No. 4 among the 77 semi-finalists in the search for the New Seven Wonders of Nature from its No. 5 berth the other day.
It follows Palawan's Tubbataha Reef that holds position No. 3 while two other Philippine natural wonders - the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River and come-backing Mayon Volcano hold rank Nos. 8 and 11 respectively.
To note, Mayon Volcano disappeared from the list - apparently de-listed like the Chocolate Hills - in the meantime that an Official Support Committee (OSC) was being formed for it.
The Chocolate Hills reappeared in the list after Gov. Erico Aumentado headed an OSC and mailed the duly accomplished form to the organizers. Several other sectors also supported the re-listing.
Meanwhile, the Chocolate Hills bask in the endorsement of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo who campaigned for votes during her visit here last May 20. - Published by Bohol Sunday Post
