Sources: Sun Star and Philippines public holidays. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (PGMA), through Presidential Proclamation No. 1403, signed last night by Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita, has declared Monday, October 29, 2007, a special non-working holiday throughout the country for the exercise of the Barangay and Sanggunian Kabataan (village and youth) elections.
Recall from our post of May 24, that November 2, 2007, was earlier declared as a special non-working day as to bridge the gap between between Thursday, November 1, 2007, which is a regular non-working holiday and the following week-end.
