Just a while ago, the Executive Secretary issued Proclamation No. 1752, declaring April 11, 2009 a special non-working holiday. This is obviously not one of the original holidays for 2009 (see list here) declared through Proclamation No. 1699. The reactions to this declaration of special non-working holiday, as well as the previous ones, are varied. |

When MyOffice was listed at the Directory, I noticed the name Milette Carlos. I remembered reading about Millette in a 2007 issue of a magazine, about mothers who run their business while running their homes smoothly at the same time. The article reveals that Milette Carlos started MyOffice in 2004 with her sister. So within hours after the MyOffice entry appeared in the Directory, we got in touch with Milette and asked her if she's amenable to a discussion, just like the previous discussion with Pinoy Entrepreneurs. Milette, who is the Managing Director of MyOffice, graciously agreed. |

Late last year, a new law was passed creating a centralized credit information system, intended to address the need for reliable information concerning the credit standing and track record of borrowers. There are some reservations and criticisms raised against this move, principally surrounding the issue on privacy of each borrower's credit information. This is Republic Act No. 9510, also known as the " Credit Information System Act" ( full text here). |

My wife asked if it's time to withdraw from our pre-need plan as a result of the recent barrage of news about the problems faced by pre-need companies. This is not the first time that pre-need companies are in the hot seat. Years back, the College Assurance Plan (CAP) and Pacific Plans, Inc. (PPI) suffered a financial problem which prompted them to seek shelter under the rules on corporate rehabilitation. Lately, member-companies of the Legacy Group (Legacy Consolidated Plans, Scholarship Plan Philippines, All Asia Plans) closed shop. First, let's define some concepts. |

Declared regular and special non-working holidays provide for additional rest periods for everyone, both employers and workers. To the employers or Pinoy Entrepreneurs, declared holidays have operational and financial impact that must be considered in advance. |

Two successive polls at the Front Page is unusual. It hasn't been done before. But we're doing it now because this isn't an ordinary time in business and in the financial lives of everyone. We all know that there's a financial crisis affecting the world, the Philippines not excluded. It arguably started in the United States, which is now in a recession. We can't say, not yet anyway, that there's a global recession, but we can say that there's a global financial problem. |

Update (24 December): Well, look at that, Malacanang today issued Proclamation 1695, declaring January 2, 2009 an additional special non-working holiday. You may still want to see the results (below) of our poll, which shows that an overwhelming majority favors January 2 to be declared as a holiday. |
