August 2015 Philippine Holidays and August 19, 2015 Quezon City Day Non-working Holiday

Other than December or the Christmas season and the Holy Week break, August is one of the most anticipated months of the year because it has the most number of non-working holidays in a month. In a few days, August begins and I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by. We do say that every year eh? We just tend to get busier and busier. That’s why it’s so important to slow down and quiet down the spirit. The perfect time to do that is during the holidays that come our way. I love maximizing the no-work days, to forget about earning a living and just get right down to “living.”

Since August 20 will be sandwiched between August 19 and August 21 holidays, most of us who work in Quezon City (yea, I’m now a QC baby. I miss the Ortigas CBD!) have filed a leave already for Thursday so we can have a full 5-day long weekend. Finally, a reverse! 2 days to work and 5 days to just breathe and LIVE and LOVE the life you have made for yourself. It’s also TIME to PAUSE and really dedicate prayer time to thank God for His protective and encouraging love that covers us each day.

Pope Francis in Philippines and the January 2015 Non-Working Holidays

Being in the midst of some broadcast preparation for the Papal Visit, we have already anticipated that there will be a few days that will be declared as non-working holidays in Metro Manila (why not entire Philippines since Pope is visiting Tacloban too).  Finally last Monday, President Benigno Aquino III has officially declared special non-working days in January for Filipinos to fully participate during the visit of the Head of State of the Vatican City.

The much beloved Pope Francis will visit the Philippines from January 15 to 19, 2015.  January 15, 16 and 19 are all Special Non-Working Holidays in NCR (National Capital Region) under Proclamation No. 936 for Filipinos to make time to witness the visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines.

Pope Francis Schedule:

Jan 15, 2015 (Thursday) – Pope Francis Arrival (Nunciature)

Jan 16, 2015 (Friday) – Pope Francis courtesy visit to Malacanang, Mass in Manila Cathedral, and SM Mall of Asia

Jan 17, 2015 (Saturday) – Whole day visit in Tacloban City. Visit Yolanda-affected sites.

Jan 18, 2015 (Sunday) – Youth mass at University of Santo Tomas (UST), Quirino Granstand Rizal Park

Jan 19, 2015 (Monday) – Departure of the Pope

Sounds like a long weekend holiday to start 2015?  If you’re not looking at welcoming the revered Pope and planning a getaway, hold your horses.  Before you plan on booking a flight, contact your airline first since the travel industry is saying that approx. 300 flights will be suspended on January 15 from 2pm to 7pm and January 19 from 6am to 1030am.  I guess this is the arrival and the departure date of the Pope.

April 2014 DECLARED Holidays, Holy Week!

Holy Week is next month.

It can easily be one of our favorite parts of the year due to the long non-working holiday break.

Most importantly, we all remember what Jesus has done for us on the Cross…

While we were sinners, he loved us and died for us.

And that LOVE continues to bridge us to Our Father in Heaven.

February 25, 2014 is EDSA Revolution School (only) Holiday

I think it’s only moms, mostly full-time moms or maybe full-time dads, who will sort of have a non-working holiday on February 25.  It’s a special holiday but only for schools.  Students rejoice since you don’t have to wake up early on that specific Tuesday.

February 25, Tuesday

EDSA Revolution Anniversary

Holiday for Schools

Since it is towards the end of February, don’t forget that it’s also the Malasimbo month!  Malasimbo Music and Art Festival happening in Puerto Galera from Feb 27 to March 2, 2014.

January 31, 2014 is a Philippine Special Non-Working Holiday

Yahoooooo!  There’s reason to celebrate and I can’t be any happier that the day before my birthday is a holiday!

January 31, 2014

Chinese New Year

Friday, Special Non-Working Holiday

So, where are you off to that long weekend? 🙂

Stumbled on this birthday video that my friends made (almost 6 years ago?) in my archive and got a tad bit sentimental, despite the ugly photos of me they chose.  It’s so nice to see again what they had to say that time.  It’s a good encouragement for me to start this year!  I am extremely blessed to have good people and good life-long friends in my life.

Declared 2014 Philippine Holidays, Regular and Special Non-Working

We all just got off a pretty long Christmas holiday break last December but it’s never enough is it?  I love it when Christmas falls on either Wednesday or Thursday.  It naturally calculates into stretching the holiday break since December 24 and/or December 26 work gets called off too since Christmas is midweek.

 

We are back to the daily grind today but couldn’t help think of the next holiday break.  Are we in the same strand of thought?  I’m so itching to travel!  I know the Lord will bless me with a travel buddy this year!  <3  I’ve listed below all the declared 2014 holidays in the Philippines for us to anticipate and mark in our calendars.

Since I barely had any long leaves this year (which meant I didn’t have any long out-of-the-country trips either – that’s why I’m sick most of 2013), and I’ve got leaves that will get forfeited if I don’t use them, my last work day is Dec 13!!!!  Woot woot.

June 19, 2013 is a Philippine Holiday?

 

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 152nd 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 152nd birthday on Wednesday, June 19, 2013.
