00:00The Senate is studying how to reduce the number of holidays in the country.
00:04It is also possible to combine the holidays that are similar to each other.
00:10This is what the employees and employers think in the report of Katrina Son.
00:18Every year, there are 12 regular holidays that are celebrated by the whole country.
00:23Aside from the special non-working days of this year,
00:27there are also local and religious holidays.
00:30Those holidays are what the Senate wants to limit.
00:34The holidays in the whole country are for more than a month,
00:39which makes Philippine companies and workers less competitive.
00:43Escudero is studying how to follow the format of the holidays in America,
00:47where the celebration of the holidays that are almost similar to each other is done alone.
00:52They have President's Day.
00:54All the President's Day celebrations are done together on one day of the holiday.
01:00We are not like that.
01:01When they were killed, there was another holiday.
01:04For the Labor Department, the report has pros and cons.
01:08We know that if there are too many holidays,
01:13the productivity will be affected.
01:15On the other hand, those who want to join
01:19are benefiting from the additional incentive
01:23because they worked on the holidays.
01:25For the Employers' Confederation of the Philippines or ECOP,
01:29this is a good step.
01:30On that day, there were only 10 employees.
01:32If you think about it, people don't understand why it's a holiday.
01:39You can limit it to...
01:42The labor group that is united
01:45has minimized the need for holidays for the workers to rest.
01:49Here is the reaction of some Filipinos.
01:52Holidays are very important for us
01:55so that we can be with our families.
01:57Let those people rest.
01:59Sometimes, we just celebrate the holidays.
02:01In business, we are also limited in production.
02:06We don't need other holidays.
02:09Katrina Son reporting for GMA Integrated News.
