Half-day work in SC, CA on Holy Wednesday

There will be half-day work for Supreme Court and Court of Appeals employees on Holy Wednesday despite Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada's suspension of work in government offices.

This was according to Supreme Court Public Information Office chief Theodore Te, who said in an official tweet that Estrada's announcement only applies to Manila trial courts.
