We will actually have 2 regular holidays next week but then the company does not treat it as mandatory, even though one of the holidays is The Independence Day. Anyway, on the bright side, maybe we'll be paid more and there will be less traffic going to work. have a nice day everyone!

Happy Independence Day for you and the other people in the Philippines. American Independence Day is my birthday which is 4th July. Some people get paid double money for working on a bank holiday. I hope that after work you will have a happy and memorable time.

Yeah, that is the only advantage in working on that day I'm not sure if it is double though, that would be nice

You'll be paid more as it is mandated by law.

Sorry to hear you will be working on holidays my friend but I hope you will be paid more on the contrary. Always look on the bright side.
