The Palace declared last year that June 19, 2012 is a Philippine special non-working holiday in the city of Calamba and regional province of Laguna to commemorate the birthday of our national hero, Jose P. Rizal.

 

I wonder if Malacanang will declare the same this year for Dr. Jose P. Rizal’s 152nd birthday on Wednesday, June 19, 2013.
