Do you need to hustle in the Holy Days?
Some coworking spaces announced that they would remain open for Filipinos who need to render working hours as Catholics observe the last days of the Lenten Season and the Day of Valor.
This year, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday fall on April 6 and 7, respectively.
Black Saturday falls on April 8, while Easter Sunday is on April 9.
The Araw ng Katigingan or Day of Valor was initially commemorated on April 9, but President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has moved it to April 10, Monday.
According to the president, the non-working holidays would let Filipinos “avail of the benefits of a longer weekend.”
