We could have had another long weekend vacay if Malacañang moved the Bonifacio Day holiday to the nearest Monday, which was yesterday, November 28.
At least wherever Andres Bonifacio may be today, he would be glad he would be commemorated exactly on his birth date. Have you ever wondered why Rizal’s and Bonifacio’s important dates were the only ones being declared as national holidays in the Philippines? You’re not alone. Haha.
Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio were the Superman and Batman of our country’s history. It’s up to you who’s the man in the red and blue suit and who’s the Dark Knight. Andres Bonifacio is the local folks’ representation of what a brave Filipino is. Remember those lines “Andres Bonifacio a tapang a tao”? Haha. Kidding aside, there’s truth to that. He was a brave man who fought for his countrymen to be free from foreign rule.
Take a mid-week break. If you’re receiving your 13th month pay this pay day, have your early Christmas shopping and don’t get yourself in the middle of the holiday rush.
