October 31 2011 (Monday) is a Special (Non-Working) Day for the Philippines

Today, President Benigno “Pnoy” S. Aquino III, signed the Proclamation No. 265 declaring October 31 2011 (Monday) as a special (non-working) day throughout the country.

Noynoy Aquino made that day a non working holiday to give the Filipinos an opportunity to properly observe the All Saints and All Souls day on November 1 and 2, 2011. Filipinos have to travel back to their respective provinces, because most Filipino workers are working away from their homes.

October 29 and 30 will surely be a busy day for the public transportation, buses, boats and airplanes. Below is a copy of the Proclamation No. 265.

November 1, 2011 (All Saints Day) has been declared as a special non-working day last December 20, 2010 through Proclamation No. 84.

I’m not sure if November 2, 2011 is or will also be declared a holiday. Well I hope so. Be sure to be prepared this coming holiday season. Streets will be busy again.
