Its a long weekend....

Malacanang has declared October 31 as a special non-working holiday, in Philippines.

Proclamation 265 signed by Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. said this is “to give full opportunity to our people to properly observe [All Saints’ Day] with all its religious fervor which invariably requires them to travel to and from different regions of the country.”

All Saints’ Day falls on a Tuesday. It is also traditionally a special non-working holiday.
