Malacañang has declared Monday, June 9, as a
non-working holiday instead of Independence Day, June 12, next Thursday.
Deputy Palace spokesperson Lorelei Fajardo said moving the
non-working holiday to June 9 is in line with Proclamation No. 1463,
which moves some holidays to the nearest Monday.
"By Proclamation No. 1463, please be advised that Independence Day
will be observed on June 9, Monday, and is hereby declared as a
non-working holiday. All activities and celebrations in commemoration
of Independence Day shall, however, remain to be observed on June 12,"
Fajardo said.
