    MANILA, PhilippinesSorry, but Oct.

    31, 2014 is
    not a holiday.
    October 31 is a regular working day,
    Communications Secretary Herminio Sonny
    Coloma Jr. said over Radyo ng Bayan on Sunday.
    He said October 31 (Friday) was not announced
    among regular holidays and special nonworking
    holidays.
    Under Proclamation no. 655, only November 1
    (Saturday) was listed as special nonworking holiday
    in celebration of All Saints Day.
    Many employees and students were hoping for a
    long weekend starting Friday.
    However, Coloma said it is up to private sector
    companies to decide if they will allow their
    employees to work half-day.
    Nasa kanila na po yon. Basta ang tinutukoy po
    natin ay hindi po yon naideklarang holiday, he
    said.
    (It is up to them. What we just said is that it was not
    declared as holiday.)
    RELATED STORY
    MANILA, Philippines The much-anticipated list of
    official holidays was released by Malacaang on
    Monday.
    Filipinos can now plan their vacations months
    earlier, especially with four long weekends
    expected next year.
    Students also have a lot to look forward to as most
    regular and special holidays fall on a weekday.
    Proclamation no. 655 reiterated that all holidays,
    except those religious in nature, will be moved to
    the nearest Monday.
    The document said the national holidays for
    observance of Eidl Fitr and Eidul Adha shall
    hereafter be issued after the approximate dates of
    the Islamic holidays have been determined in
    accordance with the Islamic calendar (Hijra) or the
    lunar calendar, or upon Islamic astronomical
    calculations.

    Regular holidays mean an employee will be paid in
    full even if the person does not report for work and
    will be paid double if he or she does.
    For special holidays, the employee will not be paid
    if he or she doesnt work but will be entitled to 130
    percent of the usual pay if the person does.
