oo nga para namang walang consideration si P-noy sa mga ganitong okasyon, at saka uwian palang yang Nov.2, if galing ka ng province.
October 28th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
sana nga i declare ni PNOY ang Nov 02, 2010
October 29th, 2010 at 7:17 am
try to listen nman sa request ng manggagawa na gawing holiday yung Nov.2 ..not all people nman eh malapit lang yung uuwian nilang province, kung di nman uuwi ng province what the essence of all souls day kung d nman madadalaw ang mahal sa buhay..once in a year lang nman sya ah.
October 29th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
honga. kung kuripotan na talaga sa holiday, ideclare na lang na may pasok ang lahat sa sabado oct 31 para pambayad sa walang pasok (sana) na Nov. 2.
o kaya, huwag nang gawin holiday ang nov 1. sayang ang isa pang araw ng trabaho.

bakit ang nov 30 which is bonifacio day eh legal tapos yung nov 1 special lang.. sa akin lang po.. mas mahalaga naman sa akin ang kamatayan ng father ko kaysa sa araw ni andres bonifacio..
November 10th, 2010 at 3:10 pm

November 26th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Its a religious holiday. We have several religion in the country, each have different dates in commemorating their dead relatives. Hindi rin lahat ay may kamag anak na patay na.

kasi naman noh namatay si Andres B. para sa ating lahat kaya mas importante sya di ba? although bayani talaga ang parents natin para sa atin lang eh sya sa buong bayan…kaya i think deserving ang death anniv. nya na maging legal holiday
