By: Yuji Vincent Gonzales - Reporter / @YGonzalesINQINQUIRER.net / 02:36 PM December 14, 2016

Malacañang has declared Dec. 26, 2016 and January 2, 2017 as special non-working days in the country to “give the people full opportunity to celebrate the holidays with their families and loved ones.”

The declaration was made through Proclamation No. 117 released on Wednesday and signed by acting executive secretary Menardo Guevarra.

Dec. 25 or Christmas Day and Jan. 1 or New Year’s Day are regular holidays in the country. Both fall on a Sunday.

“Whereas, a longer weekend promotes domestic tourism and enables employers to plan their work schedules effectively and efficiently, resulting in improved productivity,” the proclamation added.

The presidential palace also directed the Department of Labor and Employment to issue appropriate circular to implement the proclamation for the private sector. RAM

Let us spend our precious moments with our family and loved ones. Treasure and cherish every moment with them, not only this coming holidays but every time of each year, months, weeks, days, hours and seconds. Too impossible? No, of course not. Well, easy for me to say because my workplace is located near my residence. How about those who live in the provinces, but their workplace is in the far flung cities and or vice versa? And let us not discount the Overseas Workers here alright? Well, what is the use of our leave privileges? You can always file for a vacation leave if you want to. Others might think the practical way. They'd rather have the monetary conversion of their accrued leave credits than using them. Well, for practical reasons, this can be in the case of our OFWs, unless of course the company will shoulder your air fare and all, why not, right? It's your choice, but as for me, I see to it that I give my priority to my family, even if I will use all my 15 days vacation leave and no more monetary conversion, as long as my family time is not compromised. Accumulating or earning money is not bad at all. But if it will interfere with my quality time with my family, then that's a different story already. I am always a family-oriented woman and my family always comes first when choosing between money or family.

Have a blessed and wonderful holiday everyone. Let us always spend this wonderful Yuletide season with our family and loved ones. God bless all of us . :-)
