Sen. Raffy Tulfo has filed a bill in Senate aiming to amend the holiday economics law to allow for more long weekends during the year.
Senate Bill No. 1651, also known as the"Holiday Act of 2023" seeks to update Republic Act No. 9492, which permits certain holidays to be commemorated on a Monday. The senator said this move hopes to boost domestic tourism in the country and"promote work-life balance" among employees and students. Under the proposed law, holidays that fall on a Saturday and Sunday will be observed the following Monday."The Philippines celebrates 18 national holidays annually, four of which are considered 'special non-working holidays.' These aforementioned days may at times fall on a weekend making them feel less celebratory for individuals," the bill's explanatory note of the bill, shared to reporters, read.
"Additionally, the increase in the number of long weekends can help reduce stress, prevent burnout, and promote work-life balance for both employees and students by allowing them to decompress and spend time with their family and friends."
