Malacañang declares August 30 a holiday

Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda made the announcement on Friday morning.

The declaration was made after Malacañang reviewed Proclamation 1841 signed by former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declaring the regular holidays, special (non-working) days and special holidays for schools for the year 2010.

Arroyo had previously set the schedule for holidays this year to allow businesses to adjust schedules and promote productivity.

He said the Aquino administration is not trying to repeal the holiday economics law, which requires that most holidays, except those with religious significance, be shifted to the nearest Monday.

……vows to continue the projects of the late Governor Emilio C. Macias II

Former Dumaguete City Mayor Agustin Perdices finally assumed office as the new Chief Executive of the Province of Negros Oriental. The former Dumaguete City Mayor, who won as vice governor in the last elections, took his oath of office yesterday during the inauguration rites held at the Negros Oriental Convention Center.

 

Gov. Perdices assumed the governorship as a result of the untimely death of the late Governor Emilio C. Macias II a month after the latter was proclaimed winner in the May 10, 2010 national and local elections due to cancer.

 

Governor Perdices’ assumption to office came after a period of confusion as to who will assume the governorship caused by several differing legal points of view as to who is the rightful successor to the post which was left vacant after the death of Gov. Macias. Gov. Perdices finally takes over the rein of the Provincial Government by virtue of the law on succession as mandated under section 44 of the Local Government Code of the Philippines.
