Feb 25, 2009 not a holiday
Last year’s declaration of a “special non-working holiday” for Edsa I (Feb 25, 2008) brought expectations that this year’s Edsa I will be declared the same.
Even Presidents Aquino, Fidel Ramos and Joseph Estrada included February 25 in the list of official holidays during their terms to commemorate the event.
But Malacañang declared that EDSA People Power Revolution on Feb. 25, 2009 will not be a holiday. And I think it won’t be moved to Feb 23 either.
Fajardo said at a news briefing, “I think there are many long weekends and long holidays, that’s why Feb. 25 was not considered. But we have many activities commemorating Edsa I.”
