Marcos denies Naga’s request for Jesse Robredo non-working day

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has denied Naga City's request to declare August 18 as a special non-working day in commemoration of the death anniversary of former Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo.

The denial was based on Republic Act No. 10669, which already designates every Aug. 18 as 'Jesse Robredo Day,' a special working holiday.

Despite the denial, Malacañang acknowledged the significance of commemorating Robredo's death anniversary to Naga City residents.
