Question & AnswerQ&A (PROCLAMATION NO. 567)
Proclamation No. 567 declares Tuesday, September 11, 2018, a special (non-working) day in the Municipality of Tupi, Province of South Cotabato.
The occasion is the celebration of the 65th founding anniversary of the Municipality of Tupi and the 9th Agten Tufi Festival.
Declaring a special (non-working) day means that work is suspended in the specified locality, but the day is not a regular holiday; employees are generally entitled to compensation as provided by law depending on existing labor rules.
A regular holiday typically requires payment of 100% of daily rate if not worked and 200% if worked; a special (non-working) day does not require pay if not worked unless there is a company policy, but if worked, additional pay is usually 130% of daily rate.
The Executive Secretary's signature (Salvador C. Medialdea) validates the proclamation, representing the authority of the President.
The proclamation clearly states the specific date: Tuesday, 11 September 2018, as a special non-working day in the named locality.
The President exercises this authority under the Constitution and relevant executive powers to promote public welfare and commemoration of significant local events.
The proclamation is limited only to the Municipality of Tupi, Province of South Cotabato.
The seal authenticates the document as an official government proclamation, signifying its legitimacy and formal issuance.
