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.
“Hindi po ito totoo at walang inilalabas na anunsyo o proklamasyon tungkol dito,” Cruz-Angeles said.
“Maging mapanuri tayo sa mga nababasa at nakikita na social media,” 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. -ag
