Life’s Lessons

It’s a loonngggg weekend around here. Friday was declared as special non-working holiday in celebration of the Kadayawan Festival and Monday was also declared a Regular non-working holiday in lieu of the National Heroes Day last Sunday. Saturday was the most awaited day for me and the rest of FPS (Fanatic Photographers Society) members for the Kadayawan’s Indak-Indak sa Kadalanan (Street Dancing) shoot. Everybody were very excited for this event as people from different walks of life, of different ages, and of different culture, are gathered to witness the Indak-Indak (Street Dancing). It’s a whole day event so it’s a super long day for me. Anyway, let me share some photos of the people involved in this event.

Oh, I almost forgot that yesterday, May 1 is Labor Day, a regular non-working holiday. It is a day for the workforce especially those in the private sector. But Ace went to work….the true LABOR DAY(LOL). Last year, if I remember it right, there’s a proclamation that HOLIDAYS that fall on a weekday will be moved on either Monday or Friday. That gives employees a longer weekend to spend with their family.

With the previous holidays this year, the presidential order was applied. Such that April 9 (National Heroes Day), which fall on Wednesday was moved on Monday. However, Labor Day, which is Thursday wasn’t moved on Friday and I am just curious why?  Is it one of PGMA’s inconsistencies? I interpreted it that way. Maybe because, during Labor Day, it is expected that labor groups all over the country will conduct a rally and with all issues thrown at PGMA will surely be aired since she did not even care to answer all of those anomalies in her administration in which she, her family and loyal supporters who holds gov’t. positions are said to be involved. That really makes people of the Philippines unhappy with her administration and I am ONE of the millions who cry for GMA’s impeachment and suffer in prison. Do I sound too mean? Yes, even from the beginning, I never liked her because I have this impression that she wouldn’t be a good president and she did lived up to my expectation.LOL. Anyway, too much about PGMA. I don’t wanna ruin your day as well as mine.
