November 7, 2011 Is A Regular Holiday

November 7, 2011 Declared As Regular Non-Working Holiday

Palace Declared November 7, 2011 As A Holiday

This post maybe a redundancy as we have covered it before here: November 7, 2011 Is A Holiday. We just created this post as a reminder that there would be another long weekend ahead of us so better prepare everything for any plans for this long vacation.

According to the document released by the palace last October 21, 2011 (signed October 20, 2011), the seventh day of the month was declared as a regular non-working holiday. That means that both regular and contractual employees will have a full paid days without getting to work, the pay will be doubled if the employee was asked to report to work this coming Monday.

Students will have their regular no classes day.

Our Muslim brothers will celebrate the Eidul Adha or the Fiest Of Sacrifice on November 6, 2011 as identified by Saudi Arabia’s highest religious body. The Philippine’s National Commission on Muslim Filipinos however recommended November 7 as observance of the festival on the country which Malacanang had acknowledged.
