I hate it when the Office of the President announces cancellation of work at a very short notice. Take August 29 for instance. We have scheduled a small event gathering on the morning of August 30. We are supposed to do last minute follow-up on August 29 but now our plans are ruined as the news show today that there won't be any work this Monday.

I hope the Office of the President can already announce if they are extending holidays that fall on a weekend on a much earlier date. It disrupts business operations and schedules. For the SME, it causes so much bother and am sure much so as well for big businesses who may have scheduled deliveries and work deadlines on that day.

It is the 4th or 5th year of this administration, they should have learned already. On our part, we can't make assumption always that holidays will be extended.
