A

The festival's observance justifies granting the residents of the City of Lipa a non-working day to enable full participation and celebration.

Legal Effect and Impact

The declaration makes January 20, 2017, a non-working day for employees and residents within the City of Lipa, influencing work schedules and business operations.
Being a special (non-working) day, compensations or pay rules as per Philippine labor laws regarding special days will apply.

The designation as a special day (not a regular holiday) means different legal and financial implications compared to national holidays.
