MANILA — Malacañang has no plans to declare Oct. 31, 2023 as a holiday, Press Secretary Cheloy Garafil said on Tuesday.
"As per [Office of the Executive Secretary], wala plan," Garafil told Palace reporters.
Filipinos were hoping Oct. 31, which falls on a Tuesday, will be declared as such for a longer weekend. The date is preceded by the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections (BSKE) on Oct. 30.
Nov. 1 or All Saints' Day, is a special non-working day.
