Labor Day

 Labor Day is most commonly associated with the commemoration of the events and the achievements that happened on the labor day movement.



The first Labor Day in the Philippines was observed back in the 1st of May 1903 when, according to research, over thousands of workers marched through Malacañang who were demanding fairer working conditions from a then American led government.



On the 8th of April 1908, the Philippine Congress passed a bill recognizing the 1st of May as a national holiday in the Philippines. The first ever celebration of the Labor Day took place on the 1st of May 1913 when some 36 unions convened a labor congress at the Cine Oriente located in C.M. Recto Street.



It is not just a simple holiday, but a day that must be celebrated. It is a special day specially for the Filipino workers.
