October 31, November 3 not holidays — ES Bersamin

Malacanang Palace

MANILA, Philippines — The Office of the Executive Secretary (OES) on Thursday denied that November 3 was declared a holiday. 

The OES added that October 31 is likewise not a holiday, debunking circulating fake news that the Palace had suspended work that day. 

“Fake news,” said Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin in a brief message to reporters. 

Monday, October 30 was declared a holiday for the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections, while Wednesday, November 1, is All Saints’ Day and Thursday, November 2, is All Souls’ Day.    

October 31 falls on a Tuesday, and November 3 on a Friday.
