DJ Chacha reacts to the proposal to reduce holidays in PH

Radio disc jockey and broadcast journalist Czarina Marie “Chacha” Balba-Guevara (popularly known as DJ Chacha) reacted to a statement made by Senate President Francis ‘Chiz’ Escudero regarding the reduction of holidays in the Philippines.

According to Sen. Escudero, the number of holidays is making our country less competitive.

“Hindi ba may holiday ang siyudad, may holiday ang munisipyo, may holiday ang probinsya, may national holiday, may religious holiday –these make us less competitive,” said Sen. Escudero.

“Tingnan niyo halimbawa ang Estados Unidos, meron silang President’s Day. Lahat ng magagaling nilang presidente, pinagsama-sama nila sa isang araw nalang na holiday. Tayo, hindi eh –may Araw ng Kagitingan, may National Heroes Day, bawat bayani ‘nung pinatay sila may holiday nanaman.” Sen. Escudero said.

On Twitter / X, DJ Chacha reposted the speech of Sen. Escudero and commented the following:

“Ang dapat bawasan ay yung mahabang bakasyon ng mga mambabatas. Ang mga ordinaryong manggagawa bilang lang ang paid leave. Kayo po, gaano katagal ulit ang break sa isang taon?”
