Not only that, most of the visit isn't even near the Embassy. The only thing that possibly would put a damper on Embassy-related things, the Mass at Luneta, is on a Sunday.

Marthin Luther King day

Thank you!

The USEM will be closed Monday because that is one of the holidays that the US government employees don't work.

Oh I see. Thank you!
