Sources: Philippine Information Agency and Philippines public holidays. Earlier today, responding to a recent influx of telephone enquiries, the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) confirmed that June 11 is included in the 2007 Special Holidays Calendar which President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (PGMA) issued through Proclamation No. 1211 (see our news report of January 19, 2007). The PIA thus confirmed that Tuesday, June 12, would be regular working day nationwide, although all activities and celebrations in observance of Independence Day shall remain to be observed on June 12, 2007.
In its communique, the PIA also confirmed that November 2 and December 24 would be special public holidays, as per Proclamation 1211.
