We have a holiday this week folks!!!  This coming Wednesday, July 6, is declared a non-working holiday by Malacanang to celebrate Eid al-Fitr or Eidul Fitar.  The declaration was made today, July 4.

September 8, 2015 Declared as Special Non-Working Holiday in Batangas City

Malacanang has issued Proclamation No. 1112 declaring September 8, 2015, Tuesday, as Special Non-Working Day in the Province of Batangas as it celebrates its annual Taal Lake Festival.

 

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.

July 29, 2014 is Eidul Fitar Special Non Working Holiday

I’ve been working crazy hard more than usual and carrying more weight than I can muster that I cannot help but look forward to the non-working holidays in the Philippines. One of which, if the Islamic calendar I looked at is right, will be the Feast of Ramadan holiday in July. Two (2) special non-working holidays in fact if you’re also working in Pasig City.

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

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.
