Is Philippines' 30November2007 Friday a holiday?

Question

...or will the holiday celebration be moved to 3December2007 Monday with President Arroyo's directive?

Answer 1

It is a holiday.

And there was no reason to move it to another day since it falls on a Friday. Malacanang only moves holidays that fall on the middle of the workweek (Tuesdays-Thursdays) to either Friday or Monday for a longer weekend to encourage local tourism.

And this logic holds. I don't wait for a directive from the President - - - just for this common sense.

Answer 2

Yes, November 30 or Bonifacio Day is a holiday.

I don't think the Philippine President will move the
celebration to another day since November 30
falls on a Friday.

Holidays are sometimes moved to Friday or Monday
to encourage domestic tourism,

Answer 3

Yes, it's a holiday.
