MANILA — The Office of the Executive Secretary (OES) on Thursday denied that Nov. 3 was declared a holiday.
The OES added that Oct. 31 is likewise not a holiday, debunking circulating fake news that the Palace had suspended work that day.
“Fake news,” said Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin in a brief message to reporters.
Monday, Oct. 30 was declared a holiday for the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections, while Wednesday, Nov. 1, is All Saints’ Day and Thursday, Nov. 2, is All Souls’ Day.
