00:00Senate President Cheese Escudero made it clear that he will not reduce the number of holidays in the country,

00:07instead, he will only limit it so that it will not increase further.

00:11We asked the employees and businessmen to voice their opinion on the decision of Dano Tingcunco.

00:17According to Senate President Cheese Escudero,

00:23the total number of holidays declared in the country has been more than a month.

00:29That's why, as much as possible, it should not be added.

00:32There is no issue with the holidays.

00:33The Senate's policy is not to add more holidays because there are already so many,

00:39but we have no plans to reduce it.

00:41We already said that it's a long story and it will not reach Congress.

00:46The Senate's policy is to add holidays to municipalities.

00:51There's at least one holiday per municipality.

00:54We're granting holidays in provinces that don't have a holiday.

00:58The evidence is clear that it should not be added, but it should not be reduced.

01:03The Senate's policy on the holidays is in line with the recommendation of Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma

01:09that it affects productivity if there are too many non-working holidays.

01:15If there are too many holidays, it means that if the workers work,

01:20there will be an additional premium pay.

01:22It should be balanced.

01:24If there are too many holidays, aside from national holidays, there are also local holidays.

01:30That's what investors or potential investors are looking at.

01:34According to the Employers Confederation of the Philippines,

01:37In business conferences, there is always a manifesto that says,

01:43let's nationalize this holiday.

01:45Because even the investors who turn off us when we talk about holidays,

01:50there are so many of them. They are so stupid.

01:53Let's divide the employees and negotiators that we elected.

01:57As a business owner,

02:00it's a favor to me because it's true that the salary has increased,

02:07and there are many more holidays,

02:09but the sales are not that big.

02:12It's important because it also adds income.

02:15But we can also say that it can be used as a break.

02:18But now, in my life,

02:21I need to work more because we need to pay our expenses,

02:25especially my brother who has an operation today.

02:29For us, it's like a double pay.

02:33If we can afford to have a holiday, why not?

02:36For GMA Integrated News, I'm Dano Tingkung with Tutok 24 Horas.

02:42Let's listen to the voices of our fellow citizens online.

02:46For some netizens, the idea of limiting holidays is insensitive,

02:50especially in times like this when only a few can make ends meet.

02:55Holidays are also a big help for employees, especially if it's double pay.

03:00For others, the country has more problems than limiting holidays.

03:06Their suggestion is to increase the salary,

03:09lower the price of milk,

03:11and reduce the number of Filipinos who can't afford to buy food.

03:14For this netizen, the suggestion is thumbs up

03:17because people are becoming unproductive.

03:20It would be better for them to just make working holidays

03:24with an additional salary for the employees.

03:26For some, even if there's no holiday,

03:29there are still some employees who need to go to work and provide services.

03:34Fellow citizens, you can also let your voice be heard on social media accounts for 24 hours.
