TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, June 04 (PIA)–Wala gideklarar sa Malacañang nga special non- working holiday ang Hunyo 11 bisan natunong kini sa adlaw nga Lunes isip pagsaulog sa Independence Day sa Hunyo 12 nga natunong sa adlaw nga Martes, nga usa ka regular holiday.
Matud pa ni Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte, magpabilin mismo sa maong adlaw sa Hunyo 12 ang pagsaulog sa “Adlaw sa Kagawasan ” o “Independence Day” sa nasud.
“We will celebrate as it falls so June 12, Tuesday,” matud pa ni Valte.
Kini tungod usab sa Proclamation No. 295, s. 2011, nga nauna nang gilagdaan ni Presidente Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, nga listahan sa mga regular ug legal holiday nga isaulog sa nasud karong tuig 2012.
Kahinumdoman nga wala nisunod si Presidente Aquino sa naandan’g holiday economics ni kanhi Presidente Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, diin gibalhin sa adlaw nga mas duol sa weekend ang mga holiday aron mahatagan ang katawhan og mas taas nga bakasyon. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)

MALACAÑANG has urged people to show their patriotism and proudly display the national flag in their homes, schools, offices, and other establishments until June 12, the country’s 112th Independence Day.
Executive Secretary Leandro Mendoza also encouraged the public to join the Independence Day celebrations on June 12 to celebrate “our fight for freedom and independence from want, from poverty, from ignorance.”
The country’s 112th Independence Day, which carries the theme “Kalayaan, Tagumpay ng Bayan,” was launched with the observance of the “Araw ng Watawat” last May 28. The P10-million Independence Day celebrations will include ceremonies promoting respect for the country’s flag as well as highlighting the achievements of President Arroyo in the last nine years.
On June 12, President Arroyo will lead the flag-raising and wreath-laying ceremony at the Rizal Park in Manila at 7 a.m. Simultaneous flag-raising rites will be held in key cities across the country.
Mrs. Arroyo is expected to deliver her Independence Day speech wherein she would likely make her final report to the nation, which includes her accomplishments as well as trials during her presidency that ends at 12 noon, June 30. (PIA-Bohol)

Monday is non-working day, and that’s holiday economics working again.
By virtue of Proclamation 9492, workers get a breather from their endeavors as the law provides that holidays, except those religious in nature are moved to the nearest Monday.
Although the Proclamation was amended, it was still adopted by RA 1463, which declared certain days as regular or special holiday for 2008.
The day-off is one taken in lieu of June 12, the country’s 110th independence day celebration, which falls on a Thursday.
In the past years, holidays were lumped with the week-ends to allow people longer rests when people can also profitably use the holidays to visit places in the country.
The move was proposed by tourism authorities to boost local travel.
While the country rests on Monday, independence day rites are not moved and are still slated Thursday, when regular socio-civic activities are set.
On that day, main celebrations center on flag raising ceremonies and government service and information caravans. (rachiu/PIA)
