Noting that the many holidays in the country have become 'an issue' to the business sector, Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual said he wants to limit the number of annual holidays to 10. This means Filipinos would be limited to the 10 regular holidays that have been traditionally observed in the country—not counting All Saints' Day and New Year's Eve—if he were to have it his way. But Pascual would also be defying his own boss, President Marcos, whose Proclamation No. 90 created at least two longer weekends for 2023.
