In respect and honor for our former President, Mrs. Corazon Aquino, Malacañang declared August 5 as a special non-working holiday. On this day, the remains of Mrs. Aquino will be buried beside her husband, Ninoy Aquino, at the Manila Memorial Park in Paranaque. Malacañang also declared August 1 to August 10, as the National Mourning week for the late president.
Another non-working holiday is on August 21, in celebration of Ninoy Aquino Day. This holiday is a Friday so we have another long weekend, yippeee!
For Quezon City residents, August 19 is also a holiday in celebration of Quezon City Day!
The last but not the least holiday in August is the last Monday of the month, 31st of August, in celebration of National Heroes Day!
Two long weekends which we can use to rest or spend quality time with our love ones. Start planning now to maximize these long weekends!
Have a great weekend!

Just this morning, my former office mate pinged me in YM the link of the article in inquirer.net stating that July 27 was declared as “INC Day” a non-working holiday. I am wondering why? Is it only because our president is fond of holidays or is there any deeper reason for this? She cannot claim that this is because majority of the Filipinos are members of INC because definitely, it’s not. She’s not even an INC. Is there another political agenda for this considering that this group claims that all their members unanimously vote for the candidates chosen by their leaders? If the government gave INC a national holiday, all other sect should also be given the same privilege. Don’t you think so? There should also be a Catholic Day, JIL Day, Baptist Day, Pentecostal Day and other religious group Day!
Our constitution is clear about the separation of state and church but in the last elections , I observed that many politicians were using religious groups just to win a post. Just like my daughter’s expression for dirt, “EWE”. Politicians are getting desparate and more desparate for power, wealth and popularity that they don’t mind to use whomever they can use just to win. I just hope that religious groups will not be deceived by their flowery words.
Let us pray for an upright, god-fearing and courageous men and women who will serve our country.

Our admin staff sent an email stating that July 2, Thursday, is a non-working Holiday for us in celebration of Pasig Day. This is a good time to rest after being stressed with my daughter’s coughs and colds. I have two less- sleep nights and and still need to work in the day time. I feel so tired.
I am thankful to God that my daughter is a little better now. She was able to sleep the entire night last night but her breathing is not yet fully normal. It was my hubby who made her slept last night because my eyes can no longer open because of sleepiness. I don’t know what time they slept last night, but when I woke up in the middle of the night, they were both sleeping already.
July 2 is a very timing day-off. I hope my daughter will continue to get better so I can have that day as a rest day.
