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.”

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

December 2011 Official Philippine Holidays

December 7, 2011 by Janey

It’s such a bummer when Christmas Day and New Year fall on either a Saturday or Sunday. That takes out an extra day off work or off a business day. Unless you’re working for a company that requires you to use your leave credits during the in-between holidays.

October 10, 2011 by Janey

As per President Benigno Aquino’s Proclamation No. 265, Monday, 31 October 2011, is declared as a SPECIAL (NON-WORKING) DAY throughout the country.

Last December 2010, the President declared Tuesday, 1 November 2011, as a special (non-working) day through Proclamation No. 84.

Since Monday, 31 October 2011, falls between Sunday and Tuesday, 1 November 2011 (All Saints Day), which has been traditionally declared a special (non-working) day throughout the country; October 31 will now be a NO WORK DAY to give full opportunity to our people to properly observe the day with all its religious fervor which invariably requires them to travel to and from different regions of the country.

This means a 4-day long weekend!!!! All together now, say, HAPPINESS!!!! 🙂 it’s time to visit our loved ones who have passed on and make most on rest.

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)

All Saints Day – November 1 (Tuesday)

Last Day of the Year – December 31 (Saturday)
