    Yes, only because it was sandwiched by January 1 (Thu) and a Saturday.

    No, they don't transfer the May 1 holiday because such a move will receive a howl of protests from labor groups. Remember that many workers have work on Saturdays as well. So they need this holiday to stage their annual labor marches.

    do you think May 11, the day after elections, will be declared a special non-working day to allow voters who went out of town to come back to Manila?

    Not quite. The moving of holidays to Mondays sticks until the law that dictates it is repealed

    if these holidays were declared during the time of PGMA, is it really possible for PNoy to change aug.23 into a regular working day?

    No, unless the Holiday Economics Law is repealed.
