June 19, 2013 is a Philippine Holiday?

June 17, 2013 by Janey

UPDATE as of June 18: Malacanang has issued Proclamation 600 declaring June 19, 2013 as a Special (Non-Working) Holiday in the Province of Laguna to commemorate 152^nd Birth Anniversary of Jose Rizal. In this regard, employees who are assigned to work on this day will be given premium pay in accordance with their company’s existing policies.

It’s a holiday in Laguna tomorrow!!!!! WOOOT.

——-

The Palace declared last year that June 19, 2012 is a Philippine special non-working holiday in the city of Calamba and regional province of Laguna to commemorate the birthday of our national hero, Jose P. Rizal.

I wonder if Malacanang will declare the same this year for Dr. Jose P. Rizal’s 152^nd birthday on Wednesday, June 19, 2013.

November 2012 Philippine Holidays, 3 Non-working Holidays for the Philippines

September 18, 2012 by Janey

November 1, Thursday – All Saints Day

November 2, Friday – Additional special (non-working) day

November 30, Friday – Bonifacio Day

–

Yay, more time to rest and enjoy life for you!

Of course, after you visit the loved ones.

But not for me though as I will be flying to Hong Kong for work the week of November 1.

*collective groan*

No worries, I’ll be filing exchange day offs for those dates.

I guess I’ll have quiet time with Papa the weekend before or after.

Declared 2013 Philippine Official Holidays

September 17, 2012 by Janey

Did you guys enjoy the long holiday weekends this year? Are you wondering how many long weekends there are for 2013? We got the answer so you can start planning for your personal vacations and weekend escapes. Malacanang already issued recently the list of holidays for 2013 so there’s no more guessing game.

Compared to year 2012 where we are enjoying many long weekends, likely to be at least 7, the Palace confirmed that under Proclamation 459, the Philippines will only get few long weekends in 2013 which will include special holiday February 25 (Monday) in commemoration of EDSA Revolution, regular holiday December 30 (Monday) weekend for Rizal Day, and the regular holiday in observance of the Holy Week. This includes Maundy Thursday which falls on March 28, 2013, and Good Friday, on March 29, 2013.

Chinese New Year declared a holiday this year last January 23 is no longer a holiday next year. Palace, however, declared December 24, 2013 (Tuesday) as a holiday “in order to foster closer family ties and enable our countrymen to observe Christmas more meaningfully.”

UPDATED and OFFICIAL August 2012 Holidays

After a lot of scuffle whether August 20, 2012, Monday is a holiday or not (previous post), the list of holidays for August has been announced. And yes, August 20 is included in celebration of the “Feast of Ramadan.” Some people say Aug. 19 is the end of Ramadan while others say August 20 is the “feast.” It’s NOW officially announced as a regular holiday. FOUR (4) day weekend is NOW CONFIRMED! Plus 2 more holidays.

July 13, 2012 as National Day of Remembrance for King of Comedy Dolphy

July 13, 2012 by Janey

President Benigno Aquino declared under Proclamation No. 433 that Friday, July 13, 2012 is the National Day of Remembrance for the late Philippine king of comedy Rodolfo Vera Quizon, to his millions of fans, Dolphy. The sad news broke out on social media re Dolphy’s death last Tuesday after he succumbed to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

In a press statement, “The President issued the proclamation in recognition of how the nation deeply feels the passing of Dolphy. In the proclamation, the President cited Dolphy as a man who will live on in Philippine cultural history—and in the hearts of many of his countrymen. President Aquino in his proclamation said that every milestone that Dolphy marked in a career that spanned decades, raised the standards of the entertainment industry, and strengthened our cultural identity, giving innumerable aspirants an example to look up to.”

Malacanang is citing Dolphy’s contributions to Philippine culture, arts and entertainment as well as his philanthropic and generosity towards Filipinos in general.

However, July 13, 2012 is NOT a non-working holiday. People have clamored for Malacanang to declare a Day of Mourning but as Dolphy’s family has expressed, Dolphy would want to be remembered for his life and not passing. We all want to celebrate his life and the late comedian’s art and artistry, his kindness and generosity, and deep patriotism.

Some people remarked that Palace, receiving proposals to commemorate Dolphy’s life, should have declared his birthday instead as the National Day of Remembrance to make it more significant.

The last day of the public viewing, where fans can pay their respect, will be on Saturday, from 8 am to 3 pm.

The films of deeply loved Dolphy will be shown on Cinema One, SKY Cable Channel 56, from July 14 to July 20, 6am onwards.

January 3, 2012 by Janey

January 23, 2012 (Monday) has been declared by Malacañang as a special non-working day in observance of Chinese New Year. If I’m not mistaken, this is the first that Chinese New Year is honored as a Philippine holiday.

“The Chinese nationals all over the world will celebrate Spring Festival, popularly known as the Chinese New Year, which is one of the most revered and festive events celebrated not only in China but also in the Philippines by both Chinese Filipinos and ordinary Filipinos as well; and the joint celebration is a manifestation of our solidarity with our Chinese Filipino brethren who have been part of our lives in many respects as a country and as a people; 23 January 2012 may be declared as a special (non-working) day without detriment to public interest,” the proclamation stated

The Palace also released the list of regular holidays, special (non-working) days, and special holiday (for all schools) for the year 2012 under Proclamation 295.

The 2012 Philippine holidays are as follows:

January 1 (Sunday) – New Year’s Day

January 23 (Monday) – Chinese New Year

February 25 (Saturday) – EDSA Revolution Anniversary
