@Morbanitoe, sometimes, gusto rin ng employer yan para maka-iskyerda rin sila sa maniningil…hehehe!
@Sheng, ilang tulog na lang yan.
@Bravo 6, I agree. These are the only times we could bond with kin.
@Jasper and @Rosilie, don’t you just love Phil holidays?

Hehehe, since naging region12 na tayo ang daming holidays. Other big companies hindi na nila sinusunod ang local holidays natin. Kaya tama ka Morbanitoe. Its really heaven to the employees but a “hell” to our employers.
