00:14With that in mind, workers in government and the private sector are scrambling to file their extended leaves of absence,
00:20many of whom are sure to take off far away from the madding crowds of the megacity for much-needed rest and recreation.
00:25As early as 3 this afternoon, a 150-meter queue of automobiles was reported at the Balintawak RFID lane of the North Luzon Expressway,
00:35with even more expected tonight and tomorrow.
00:38Meanwhile, workers in the private sector are reminded of a no-work, no-pay arrangement for tomorrow's holiday.
00:43For those working tomorrow, kindly be advised to check on corresponding holiday and overtime rates that apply tomorrow and on Monday.
