MALACAÑAN finally announced that October 31, 2011 as Special (Non working day) holiday. We all know that October 31 falls on Monday which is a potential long weekend since Novermber 1 landed on Tuesday. It seems Malancanan understand the sentiments of our fellow Pinoys that they have to travel from different regions of our country to observe November 1 so in response PNoy declared October 31 as Holiday via Proclamation no. 265.
