August 2011 Holidays in the Philippines

June 13, 2011 by Janey

In the recent years, August is that other month where we have at least 2 long weekends. This year might not be the case unless President Noy Aquino declares Ninoy Aquino (incidentally his father) Day, which falls on a Sunday, moved to the following Monday. Very unlikely.

August 2011 Philippine Holiday

There are two holidays this August 2011:

National Heroes Day

August 29, Monday

Regular Holiday

Ninoy Aquino Day

August 21, Sunday

Special Non-working Holiday

If President Aquino doesn’t declare August 22 as a special non-working holiday then we have to be satisfied with only one long weekend in August.

August 29 that falls on a Monday is a regular holiday which means that it will be a non-working day.

UPDATE August 5, 2011

August 21, 29 and 30 declared as holidays! Even Aug. 19 too for those in Quezon City!

August 19 (Friday) has been declared as a non-working holiday for Quezon City-based employees in commemoration of Quezon City Day.

August 21 (Sunday) will be a special non-working holiday in commemoration of Benigno S. Aquino death anniversary, by virtue of Proclamation 84, which brings back the celebration of national holidays on their actual dates.

August 29 (Monday) is declared as a holiday throughout the country to celebrate National Heroes Day.

August 30 (Tuesday) is likewise declared as a special non-working holiday in commemoration of Eid’l Fit’r (End of Ramadan).

HOORAY for the 4-day long weekend!!! **little dance. little dance**

June 20, 2011 is a non-working holiday in the Philippines!

April 29, 2011 by Janey

Malacañang under Proclamation 154 has declares June 20, 2011, Monday, as a special non-working holiday in celebration of Jose Rizal’s 150th birth anniversary.

Finally, a long weekend holiday! 🙂 *HOPPING LIKE A BUNNY*

2011 Philippine Holidays Declared, No More Long Weekends

January 3, 2011 by Janey

Under Proclamation No. 84, signed by President Aquino, Malacañang released the official Philippine 2011 regular and special holidays. A lot of Filipinos groaned and grumbled with the thought that the “Holiday Economics” law passed in 2007 under RA 9492, more widely known to us as “special long weekends” will no longer be implemented.

I think President Aquino made it a point not to have too many “non-working” days in the Philippines but more importantly, letting the distinctive holiday date stay as is, regardless of the day it falls on, helps commemorate the importance of that particular date instead of moving it around.

Regular Holidays

New Year’s Day – January 1 (Saturday)

Araw ng Kagitingan – April 9 (Saturday)

Maundy Thursday – April 21 (Thursday)

Good Friday – April 22 (Friday)

Labor Day – May 1 (Sunday)

Independence Day – June 12 (Sunday)

National Heroes Day – August 29 (Last Monday of August)

Bonifacio Day – November 30 (Wednesday)

Christmas Day – December 25 (Sunday)

Rizal Day – December 30 (Friday)

Special (Non-Working) Days

Ninoy Aquino Day – August 21 (Sunday)

All Saints Day – November 1 (Tuesday)

Last Day of the Year – December 31 (Saturday)

Special Holiday (for all schools)

EDSA Revolution Anniversary – February 25 (Friday)

Announcement of the national holiday for observing the Islamic holidays Eid’l Fitr and Eidul Adha is yet to declared following the lunar or Islamic calendar. The date will be determined by The National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF).

Manila News Today: Sept 30, 2009 – Classes Suspended for One Week

September 30, 2009 by Janey

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) said Wednesday that classes at the tertiary level in Metro Manila and other areas placed under a state of calamity will remain suspended until Saturday. Classes resume on October 3 (for Saturday classes) and October 5 (for Monday classes). Colleges and universities are being encouraged to become centers that will receive aid and donations to help those affected by Typhoon Ondoy.

In other news, Typhoon Ondoy or international name Ketsana is now in Vietnam, which is across the South China Sea from Philippines. Ketsana hit central Vietnam yesterday and death toll is now at 39, and caused close to 170,000 people to leave their homes.

The World Meteorological Organisation said in Geneva a new tropical depression had formed east of the Philippines Tuesday, although it was too soon to predict whether it would form a cycle that would reach the archipelago.
