                    [Summary] => I’ve been writing less and less frequently lately, and part of it’s because of President Gloria Arroyo’s insistence on long weekends. Believe me, it’s hard to meet writing deadlines when you’re forced to go out of town every weekend to boost tourism. True, such enforced tourism theoretically should result in more material for a columnist. But here’s the rub: How can you find time to write (or do your job) if the government wants you to take a break all the time?

NO SECURITY. There is a bank in Cebu that does not have a security guard on Saturdays and Sundays. This bank has branches at Cebu Business Park and along Osmeña Blvd. An informer said that clients cannot make credit card payments through machines on weekends because no one, as in no one - no clerk or security guard - is around to give out envelopes where payments are to be enclosed.

Believe me, it’s hard to meet writing deadlines when you’re forced to go out of town every weekend to boost tourism. True, such enforced tourism theoretically should result in more material for a columnist. But here’s the rub: How can you find time to write (or do your job) if the government wants you to take a break all the time?
