Yesterday, I went to the Manila Post office to send some mail, but I found the place closed.
I wondered about this, since it was a Thursday, and holidays are usually moved to Mondays.
Minutes later, I found out what the celebration is.
It was Araw ng Maynila, and the local urchins were splashing waterat every incoming jeepney.
PNoy himself does not approve of the practice of relocating holidays to weekends for the better exercise of Holiday Economics. He has said doing that would reduce the significance of the holiday.
Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim appears to share the same sentiments
welcome to manila!!!!!!
