Labor Day Weekend: Work Hard, Play Hard

CEBU, Philippines - Labor Day is a day off from work and, when it falls close to the weekend, a great chance to go on a vacation. Labor Day is more than just a holiday; the occasion signifies victory against work oppression. The day represents the fight for fair work hours, for safe and secure working conditions, for equal working standards for men and women, and the abolition of child labor. Indeed, there's a lot to celebrate about.

Employees all over the country also see the Labor Day weekend this year as perfect for travelling to other cities and countries, especially with the airline seat sales. Many head over to the island paradise of Boracay, for the annual "Laboracay" festivities. Whichever destination or activity people choose to do, one thing is for sure - Labor Day weekend is a time off from the usual grinds at work, well-deserved by those who work hard.

In Cebu, the first official Labor Day Party happens on Friday, May 2. It takes place at Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan. Pumping up the party are Dutch Party Starter DJ Alvaro, MC KC Jones, and the popular Spectrum DJs.

It's time to kick off the shoes, let the hair down, and leave the world behind. It's time to play for those who busy themselves at work on regular days. The Labor Day destination is Mactan - Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan. (FREEMAN)
