Cory Aquino Day

Several motions have been made to commemorate the late President Cory Aquino by declaring her birthday, January 25, a national holiday. Malacanang has already been reported to favor this move.

In favor of the business sector, and the daily paid worker, it may be wiser to declare this as a working holiday.  On the other hand, additional holidays may benefit the tourism industry by increasing internal tourism.

Burial of former President Cory Aquino is a holiday

To honor the burial of former Philippine president Cory Aquino, the government has declared August 5 as a special non-working holiday.

The former president is currently in a Catholic school in manila, where many of those who wish to honor her are flocking to see her for one last time.
