A statutory holiday falling on a Saturday or Sunday in Santa Lucía doesn't simply get skipped — Panama's gazette process typically moves the observed day off to the following Monday.
Santa Lucía runs on the America/Panama time zone, so statutory holidays here fall on the same local calendar date as the rest of Panama — there's no cross-timezone shift to account for.
