Palace: August 9 not a holiday

By Katrina Gracia Consebido

 

Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles on Thursday, Aug. 4, said Aug. 9 this year is not a special non-working holiday amid unverified social media posts claiming that next Tuesday will be a holiday to honor the late former President Fidel V. Ramos.

ā€œHindi po ito totoo at walang inilalabas na anunsyo o proklamasyon tungkol dito,ā€ Cruz-Angeles said.

ā€œMaging mapanuri tayo sa mga nababasa at nakikita na social media,ā€ she added.

Former President Ramos passed away last July 31 at the age of 94, and will be accorded a state funeral with full military honors on Aug. 9.Ā  -ag
