November 7, 2011 Declared as Regular Philippine Holiday

Barely 2 weeks after the recent October 31 Philippine holiday declaration, Philippine President Noynoy Aquino has declared November 7, 2011 as regular Philippine holiday to celebrate the Muslim brothers’ “Festival of Sacrifice,” also known as Eid’l Adha.
Proclamation No. 276 made November 7, 2011 as an official regular holiday. This means Filipinos will enjoy two long consecutive weekends since October 31, 2011 is also a Philippine Holiday this year.
Any travel plans or tour schedules brewing on the Philippine holiday of November 7 coupled with the long weekend from November 5? 🙂

That’s good news for employees but bad news for employers. 🙂
PNOY BAKLA WALANG KWENTA..INUTIL
alam mo kau ang dami nyong sinasabi kay PNoy di nyo nya kaya gawin yung ginagawa nya puro kau dak2 at complain ano ba nagawa para mapabuti ang pinas puro lang naman kau tong-8:((
please can we respect muslim’s beliefs? for those people who hate having holiday shame on you guys cause u dont do anything productive and tiring. so poor. holidays are for people who make livelihood.
tama wag tayong racist.. baket nagrereklamo ba ang muslims pag nagpapasko at nagmamahal na araw tayo?? naturingan pa naman tayong kristyano.. respect lang po..
lol k edz! dapat sau pugutan ulo! durugin ka!
d k marunong makiisa.. kaya ng aaway away d2 sa pinas
ilibing k ng buhay! igiling! pugutan ulo yan!
Ang sa akin lang, Kristiyanong bansa ito – namamayagpag pa ang mga Katoliko. Dapat mas inuna na walang pasok ang November 2 All Souls’ Day, bilang pag-gunita sa mga nangamatay nating mga kamag-anak. November 1 is All Saints’ Day, siyempre pag-gunita naman iyon sa mga santos ng simbahang Katolika. Kung bibigyan ng recognition ang importanteng mga araw ng ka-Muslim-an, dapat bigyan din ng sapat na recognition ang mga importanteng araw ng mga Katoliko sa bansang may namamayagpag na mga Katoliko.
oo nga ampf ka basta may msabe ka lng eh
Let’s all respect everyone’s belief….
You know what?
It’s people like you, Eds, that make this world a hell lot dirtier and eviler. People like you, racist bastards, need to get a taste of your own fucking medicine. If I was God right now, I’d have you flayed a million times over until your own soul screams in pain.
di ba kayo marunong rumespeto sa iba ??
anung gusto nyo ?? kung kelan lang niyo gusto na walang pasok tsaka gusto niyo holiday ??? mag-isip naman kayo .. anung meron sa
Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 , holiday naman po yun db ?? kaya nga naging holiday ang Nov. 7 dahil katoliko si President na rumirespeto kahit kanino . 🙂
thanks for posting that 🙂 I respect muslims. 🙂 who else does ?
kung ayaw niyo ng holiday sa Nov7 eh di pumasok kayo. hahaha.
may mga holidays talaga na hindi makabuluhan, gaya ng Nov1. kung kelangang dalawin ang patay, pwede naman kahhit kelan gawin.
Ang dapat dinadalaw eh yung buhay.
hindi nmn kayo nkkatulong no…alam mo edz instead n mg comment k..isipin mo nga kung meron k naitulong sa taong bayan or sa kapwa mo..
we should just respect each other and they are also person and they need to commemorate and we should also undrstand that
why do some muslim people becoming rebellions?
it is just simply because they also want respect and not indiscrimination
so lets respect them 🙂
lets have pece 🙂
<3
😉
:putnam:
akin lang para sakin basta akin lang walang problema basta magpakatoto tau yon lang
eds and loloy… LOW IQ…
maraming salamat pnoy for declaring nov 7 as holiday. madami na naman kaming boteng maitumba nito..hehehe
kung makapagsalita nman tong c EDS! minura na c pnoy sinali pa pati mga muslims. katulad mong tao ang dahilan kung bakit wlang pgkakapantay pantay sa mundo at kung bakit may mga rebeldeng muslim! NAKAKAHIYA KA!
Thanks Pnoy sa holiday…makapagpahinga na naman kami from office work…
@pogi: makapagsalita k parang kaya mong maging presidente ah. Puro kyo reklamo, tapos wala kyong ibang maisip kundi pababain s pwesto ang mga presidente…eh anng tanong sinong papalit? kayo? If we will just give credits to what they’ve done, walang problema…always remember isa lng ang presidente kada term mas marami padin tyo, kung tayo ang mgsisimula ng pagbabago uunlad pare-pareho tyo. I agree with Jehnshie ang hirap kc sa ating mga Pilipino puro tayo reklamo eh hindi nmn tyo nkilos para umunlad an Pilipinas
@pogi: makabakla k ah…may issue kb s bakla? don’t you know that gays as well as lesbian are intelligent individuals who can stand for what they are fighting for? unlike you.
RESPETO LANG para sa paniniwala ng ibang FILIPINO.
Bakit nyo Binoto si PNoy at the First Place?? kung Babatikusin nyo lang naman din sya..
I’m not a Pro Noynoy, But Always respect the Authority…
it would be unfair kung puro rights lang natin as Catholic ang napapansin :/ and please .. Stop throwing words against our president .. kahit mamatay at mabuhay kayo ng limang ulit, he’s still our leader .. Just accept it and let him finish his term.. malapit na naman eh .. :/
Basha: I agree with you…
Respect them if you want them to respect you…
HAAIITTZZ… so funny yung mga nagrereklamo direktahin nyo ung government.. :)para masabi nyo ung gusto nyo.. dito kau ngrereklamo ngmumura pa lol.. you think may nagwa ka sa pinost mo wala naman ngbago respect and accept nalang kung ano meron ahaahha…. O.A masyado huh!
Hi Folks,
Differing opinions are welcome in recognition of freedom of expression and so that we can learn from each other as well.
But hate comments with prejudiced name-calling targeted to specific race or group of people shall not be tolerated.
Let us maintain a beneficial and healthy discussion.
Thank You! 🙂
Everyone has a right to give their own opinion on things, but not to the point that you’ll start calling people names (curse words). AS I’ve always said in other social networks don’t feed the trolls, you’ll only be satisfying them by stooping down on their level. After making your point just move on.
The Philippines is a country for everyone. Statistics say that most of the country’s population is Catholic, but there are also Muslims, Agnostics, Atheist, Hindus, etc. It is nice that every once in a while that he government recognize these so called minorities. Plus, what is there to complain about? Just take it as it is. If you don’t want this holiday, then what can you do? Rant? Complain? but will it change anything? Will the holiday be removed?
Thank you for understanding Chris A.
Just where do those negative reactions coming from? Anyway, let’s just wish everyone a happy long weekend! Cheers Jonel and dear readers! 🙂
Still confused kung bakit mas dineklara pa na holiday ang October 31st when it should be November 2nd dahil ‘yun ang All Souls Day…
Hi Skylla,
I think mainly because it has been already a tradition in the Philippines to observe All Saints Day for the reposed loved ones instead of the actual All Soul’s Day. 🙂
respect nman natin ang ibang religion,.intindihin din natin ang beliefs ng mga muslim,.wag taung selfish na gusto natin lahat ng nangyayari ay pabor lang sa sarili nating kapakanan,.
BAKIT????IKAW LANG BA ANAK NG DIYOS????dva??!!!
let’s cooperate na lang po,.
big brother po tayo as PILIPINO people, ang pilipinas ay may kristyano at muslim, lahat tayo ay dapat maykarapatan sa tinatamasa ng simo man, kung ano ang meron sa kristyano, sana ganun din para sa muslim para walang masasabi ang bawat isa…….
kelan po ulit next philippine holiday ngyong 2011?
