Many people are so joyful for the reason that Malacanang declared our Philippine holiday in celebration of the National Heroes Day (August 29) and Eidl Fitr – Ramadan Celebration by our Muslim brothers and sisters (August 30). They have been much happier because these dates fall under the weekdays (to be specific Monday and Tuesday! That means more days for resting and bond time with the family.
But amidst the good idea of a long weekend, bad news for others because PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) cited that there will be a typhoon coming on a weekend. Maybe at this time many canceled plans for a long trip or activities and rather stayed home. Until now heavy rains is still on landfall creating floods for some low lying areas.
