“Proper observance of the pay rules on regular holidays and special non-working days will lead to more productive and competent employees. Voluntary compliance with labor laws, including the payment of correct wages, is good business practice. It is good for the workers and it is good for the employers,” Baldoz said.
Eid’l Fitr is a regular holiday declared by President Benigno S. Aquino III under Proclamation No. 1070 which he signed on 6 July.
“Eid’l Fitr was declared a regular holiday because of its religious and cultural significance to the Muslims,” Baldoz observed.
Republic Act 9177 mandates the government to declare Eid’l Fitr a national holiday, celebrated by the Muslim world for three days after the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting. (DOLE/PIA)

MANILA, July 14 (PIA)–Nanawagan ang Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) sa katawhan nga mag-ampo sa Oratio Imperata o Obligatory Prayer kalabot sa krisis nga gi-atubang sa Pilipinas sa West Philippine Sea.
Gihimo ni CBCP President Archbishop Socrates Villegas ang panawagan human sa ika-111 CBCP plenaryo diin gitoki sa mga obispo ang pipila ka mga kontrobersyal nga isyu karon sa nasud.
Matud pa ni Villegas, kinahanglang manghilabot ang Simbahang Katoliko sa isyu tungod sa posibilidad nga mo-grabe pa ang tensyon sa gi-ilogang teritoryo ug mabutang sa kakuyaw ang kalinaw.
Gitumbok sa arsobispo nga kalinaw ang nag-unang misyon sa Simbahan.
Matud pa nga walay gahom ang Simbahan nga makipag-negosasyon sa mga superpower o gamhanang mga nasud o di kaha i-representar ang Pilipinas sa international court apan mahimo man nilang hangyuon ang Ginoo nga panalipdan ang Pilipinas.
Sa Oratio Imperata, kauban sa i-ampo ang kahilwasan sa mga Pilipino gikan sa ‘manmade disaster’ apil na sa marine environment.
Samtang una nang gipahayag sa Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) nga sulod sa tulo ka buwan, mahimo nang ipakanaug sa United Nations tribunal ang desisyon niini sa hisgotanan sa hurisdiksiyon sa kaso sa Pilipinas nga mi-kuwestiyon sa halapad nga pag-angkon sa China sa South China Sea.
Matud pa ni DFA spokesman Charles Jose, kini ang banabana sa abogado sa Pilipinas nga si Paul Reichler base sa naunang mga kasong gigunitan sa Permanent Court of Arbitration nga naka-base sa Hague ug nag-dungog sa petisyon sa Pilipinas.
Miadto sa Hague ang mga opisyal sa Pilipinas nga suportado sa mga international maritime ug international law experts aron kumbinsihon ang korte nga gunitan ang kaso taliwala sa pagsupak sa China. (ecb/PIA7-Bohol)
