Not only is there free fiesta during election time, there might even be extra holidays as well! Besides the election day holiday on Monday May 10, rumours are now going around that May 11 will also be declared a public holiday.
Yesterday Malacanang announced that May 3 will be a non-working holiday. After many years in the country, the concept of holidays in this country perplexes me. To this very day I still cannot explain the difference between "a non working holiday" and a regular holiday.
