It was announced that there will be no classes in all levels nationwide on February 23, 2009, Monday in celebration of People Power anniversary. The exact anniversary is February 25 , a Wednesday… do you think people will celebrate the anniversary on Monday? I don’t agree to R.A. 9492 (economic holiday) in this case. Also, it is still a regular working day, only the students don’t have classes.
R.A. 9492 provides that holidays, except those which are religious in nature, moved to the nearest Monday unless otherwise modified by law, order or proclamation.
The way I see it, the announcement is just their way so that they won’t received any negative feedbacks of omitting Edsa Revolution from the Official Non-Working Holidays for this year (Proclamation 1699). Is that so? What will happen to students on Wednesday if rallies is everywhere? With the present corruption and other issues we have now… tsk. tsk. tsk.
