                    [Summary] => We commend President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for acceding to the request of several labor groups to withdraw her order moving this year’s Labor Day celebration from May 1 to April 29. It is very difficult to commemorate any historical event on another date and celebrating Labor Day on May 1 has been a long Philippine tradition. The best proof is the fact that we don’t celebrate Labor Day on the same day as the United States. The US celebrates Labor Day on the 1st Monday of September, thus establishing a continuous three-day holiday, which is what GMA was trying to achieve.
