Unfortunately, no holiday here in Koronadal. A personnel from a radio station we called up even commented “Wala labot ang south sang holiday sa mga muslim!”… I wonder what he meant by “south” when Gensan is even further south of Mindanao. I wonder what he meant by his statement at all… I am on the verge of viewing this as cultural insensitivity – one of the seeds of unpeace!

holidays???? September 5, 2009 – GenSan Tuna Festival – happened to fall on a Saturday. While Saturday is a non-working day for government offices, some (if not all) private office employees go to work regularly on Saturdays. Would private offices automatically observe this year’s September 5 as a holiday? Or, are we required to work on September 5 (Saturday) if the city mayor (Mayor Acharon) did not declare it as a holiday? Answer, anyone?
