In a recent article on spot.ph, Representative Cynthia Villar is said to have proposed yet another national holiday, "Thank You Day". Can I propose "Hey Villar, Fuck Off Day"? The last thing our country needs is another holiday. We have way too may days off already (see for yourself), and this doesn't include the random holidays our government so easily dishes out. I find it disgusting that our politicians do this to gain political support.
Most of the developed asian economies advanced into the 1st world by adding more hours to the work week. We should do the same, not the opposite. Maybe we can reward ourselves with a Thank You Day once we actually have something to be thankful for. For now, we should collectively curse our government for burderning local businesses with unneeded days off. There is no room for slack here people. We need to get our sh*t together and work harder, much harder.
The World Bank recently came out with a poll focusing on the easiest places to do business in the world - Singapore ranked #1, Malaysia ranked #23 and the Philippines ranked...#144! Villar's idiotic proposal is reason number 2,033,423,987 why the Philippines will be left behind. Our leaders need to act more responsibly, and not like a bunch of power hungry animals that they are.
