TO mark the 24th anniversary of the first People Power Revolution on February 25, Malacañang announced that classes would be suspended on February 22, the Monday nearest the historic celebration.
The Office of the Press Secretary said that according to Proclamation No. 1841, signed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in July 2009, February 22 is only a special holiday for schools. This means it will be a regular working day on February 22.
Every year, the country celebrates the first EDSA Revolution that ended the 20-year rule of the late President Ferdinand Marcos and catapulted Corazon Aquino to the presidency.
For this year’s commemoration of the historic event, the government would inaugurate the Light Rail Transit-Metro Rail Transit closing the loop project, said Subic Clark Alliance for Development Council chair Edgardo Pamintuan. (PIA-Bohol)
