Duterte lessens non-working days for 2021

Metro Manila February 26, 2021— President Rodrigo Duterte has amended the list of holidays for 2021,
declaring fewer non-working days as part of efforts to spur economic recovery.

Under Proclamation No. 1107, signed on Friday, three previously declared special holidays are now
special working days. These are Nov. 2 (All Souls’ Day), Dec. 24 (Christmas Eve), and Dec. 31 (New Year’s
Eve).

“For the country to recover from the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a need to
encourage economic productivity by, among others, minimizing work disruption and commemorating
some special holidays as special (working) days instead,” Duterte’s proclamation read.

The country plunged into recession after months of varying levels of community quarantine that forced
businesses to close, displacing millions of workers. The government has been easing quarantine
restrictions to reopen the economy.
