00:00Senate President Chisa Escudero made it clear that the number of holidays in the country will not be reduced, but it will not be added.
00:08Escudero also allowed a week in which the Senate agreed to limit the approval of plans for local holidays.
00:16According to Escudero, there are already 21 national holidays.
00:20In addition, there are also local holidays for towns, villages, and provinces.
00:25It should be noted that the number of local holidays should not be doubled.
00:29Senator Cynthia Villar also added that only non-working holidays should be allowed by the Senate.
00:36This is because it is a big expense for the private sector and the government.
00:40According to the Employers Confederation of the Philippines or ECOP,
00:44there is nothing wrong with a holiday if it is not a non-working holiday.
00:48Companies' productivity should not be affected because of this.
00:52Senators agreed to this following the recommendation of Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma
00:58that it affects productivity if there are too many non-working holidays in the country.
