June 30 is a special non-working holiday

In honor of the turn-over of the presidency to the new president-elect, June 30 has been declared as a special non-working holiday.

For employees in the private sector, this would mean that they get a free day off. If required to work, employees get an additional 30% to their salary for that day.

Calls to Malacanang, however, state that this is still only in the proposal stages, and have yet to be signed by the President.
