No wonder why do rants and raves about the government are not heard by the proper officials. Three days ago, I emailed the following addresses asking which of the 23rd or the 24th of this month will be the holiday, since no official announcement has been made yet:

Some 24 hours later, I got a reply! Wow, that was fast (not really)! I got a reply from the mailer daemon:

~~~~~~~~~~

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.

Message will be retried for 2 more day(s)
Technical details of temporary failure:
TEMP_FAILURE: Could not initiate SMTP conversation with any hosts:

~~~~~~~~~~

So, the next time that you will attempt to email any of the government agencies and they haven’t replied for quite some time, better give them a call or better yet, drop by their offices instead. Sayang ang tax!
