Thanks for posting. Just wanna ask… isn’t it that February 25
is a school holiday? Does this include all employees of the school like admin and all other non-teaching staff or is it for students and teachers only?
Yes, February 25 is a school holiday at the end of the list. For the non-teaching staff, it is usually the school’s decision if they will or will not have work too on that Philippine holiday.
