Good afternoon!

This is actually my second time to post my rant in here regarding our company's policy in giving their employees rest days/days off.
My concern is that, is it legal for a company to place/put its employees days off on (a) regular/special holidays?? I asked them why. They said " your days off are all paid " which means that it includes any holidays/special holidays in a month..

Any advice will be much appreciated! Thanks and more power!

Check out the labor code/law. And your contract as well. Companies or corps sometimes have a sucker punch concealed.

Yes, they could do that. They could also make schedule for a skeletal work force.
If you are required to work on said rest day which coincides with a holiday, you should get paid not only for the usual rdot rate but with additional premium.

As long as they observe the local (Phil.) labor law.
