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)

December 2010 Holidays Declared

December 13, 2010 by Janey

I’m already going to be on forced leave on December 22, 23, 28, 29, and 30. I seriously still want to work, mostly because there are still a lot to do for Q1 of 2011 (watch out for new channels to be launched) and because I usually get sad when I’m idle (not that I don’t have tons of things I have to do at home. Chores. Errands. General cleaning. I usually stare into space when I’m home lately or let the boob tube corrode my brains. Home is such a sad place since September.)

Anyhow, don’t let my not-so-Christmassy self weigh you down. Check out the Philippine holidays declared this December.

December 2010 Holidays

December 24 (Christmas Eve) – Special Holiday

December 25 (Christmas Day) – Regular Holiday

December 27 (Rizal Day) – Regular Holiday

December 31 (Last Day of the Year) – Special (non-working) Holiday

Where are you off to?

Papa planned to bring the family to Taiwan for a Christmas vacation, Dec. 24-30, supposedly our first Christmas not to be spent in Manila, and a family vacation we haven’t done in a long, long while. I wish he were still here, even if we spend Christmas only at home… even if it’s just 3 hours of his time. Now, I don’t feel like celebrating Christmas at all.

I wish sometimes I’m just faraway. Far from all the pains I feel now 🙁

I wish I’m still a kid looking up at his face. I know for sure I’d be smiling my happiest smile. And I’d be telling him how much I love him… over and over again… in an Illustration Board artwork/card I made for him, in a Welcome Home banner, in a letter, in a simple text… in the respectful, loving and longing manner I look at him. If I were still a kid, I’d make the 28 years I had with my dad more meaningful.

I miss you Pops. And it breaks my heart now to know I do. So much.

Malacañang has declared November 29, Monday, a regular non-working holiday in nationwide observance of Bonifacio Day.

The public holiday actually falls on November 30, but the government by virtue of Proclamation 1841 pushes its observance as a non-working day nearest Monday.

UPDATE as of Sept. 3, 2010

Malacanang has issued Proclamation No. 26 declaring Friday, September 10, 2010 as a Regular Holiday throughout the country to promote national consciousness on the religious and culutural significance of the Eid’l Fitr (Feast of Ramadhan).

In this regard, employees who will be assigned to work on this day will be given premium pay in accordance with their company’s existing policies.

—-

Will there be a special non-working holiday this month of September?

We’re all anticipating President Noynoy’s announcement.

Last year, September 21, 2009 was declared as a national holiday by Malacañang in observance of Eid’l Fitr.

A lot are asking if September 10, 2010 (Friday) will be declared as a holiday.

Many opinions say it should be declared as one. It’s like saying there’s no Christmas holiday.

If P-Noy/Malacañang does decide to announce it as a holiday, it would probably be declared by tomorrow or latest Sunday.

–

Holiday or not!

Take your family or your significant other

out on a date in the Metro (or just at the outskirts of it) 😉

August 23, 2010 is no longer a non-working holiday

August 12, 2010 by Janey

Malacañang announced yesterday that August 23, which falls on a Monday, will remain a regular working day, contrary to earlier declaration of it being a special non-working holiday under PGMA’s holiday economics. P-Noy declared August 21, which is a Saturday and the actual date of Ninoy Aquino’s death anniversary, as the non-working holiday.

A statement from the presidential palace said President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III is empowered under Republic Act 9492 to modify holidays by law, order or proclamation.

“The purpose for observing Ninoy Aquino Day on August 21 instead of August 23 is to avoid the imposition of unnecessary financial burden upon the employers, ensure the continuity of government, business, and commercial transaction, promote productivity, while at the same time preserve the solemnity of the observance,” the statement read.

I feel for those of you who have already made vacation plans around this “supposedly” non-working holiday. I guess the solution is either you cancel it or file a vacation leave from your respective companies (I know it’s a dent on your VL or paycheck but what can we do, it’s been decided on). Anyway, August 30 is still a regular holiday at this time. You might want to move your plans to that date 😀

And if you’re not skipping town… you might want to have a date in the Metro (or just at the outskirts of it) 😉

Dick Gordon’s Post-Election Statement

I would like to congratulate Sen. Aquino for his spectacular victory. I call upon this nation to unite and support him.

I would like to thank everyone who supported me especially my volunteers and those who gave up their limited resources as a manifestation of trust in my brand of leadership and track record.

I ran a very truthful, straightforward and candid campaign and thought we could run on the basis of our platform, track record and volunteerism.

I would like to congratulate all the winners and pray that they serve our country well.

We accept the will of the people.

Today, we have a victory for democracy with the successful exercise of our first nationwide automated election despite naysayers and doubters.

The fight for this country goes beyond this day. Let us forge on in building a Bagumbayan foe our people.

Your Vote is Your Voice- May 10, 2010 is Special Public (Non-working) Holiday

May 6, 2010 by Janey

Malacanang has issued Proclamation No. 2020 declaring Monday, May 10, 2010 as a Special Public (Non-Working) Holiday throughout the country to give the people the fullest opportunity to participate in the said elections.

In this regard, employees who will be assigned to work on this day will be given premium pay in accordance with their company’s existing policies.

May 3, 2010 is a Non-working Holiday

April 28, 2010 by Janey

I never thought I’d see the day when May 1 will be moved to another day as a special non-working holiday. Apparently, May 1, 2010’s ‘premium’ privileges will be applied to May 3, 2010 as President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declared today that this coming weekend will be a long weekend once again in the Philippines.

The Malacañang announced that May 3 will be a non-working holiday in the country so as to give Filipinos a chance to observe Labor Day.

Malacanag has issued Proclamation No. 2043 declaring May 03, 2010 (Monday) as a regular holiday to celebrate “Labor Day”,

which in effect supersedes Proclamation No. 1841 where May 1, 2010 (Saturday) was declared as regular holiday.

Executive Secretary Leandro Mendoza said that since Labor Day this year falls on a Saturday, Malacanang has decided to move the observation of the holiday on the nearest working day, which is May 3 or this Monday. This is supposedly keeping with the government’s holiday economics policy.

Wage boards are expecting a different announcement from PGMA though. An announcement that their wage hike petitions be favored. Labor officials confirmed this week that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will not make any wage increase announcements on Labor Day.

Locate Your Precinct Number

April 21, 2010 by Janey

I can’t wait to cast my vote in this upcoming national election. I’m also excited for first time voters who got to register and will exercise their right to vote on May 10, 2010.

I wonder how the automated election will go. I pray that whoever wins the presidency or the LGU seats, at the very least, it was really an honest election… with the right count and no tampering of the actual results.

Locate your Precinct number online. Just click on the link below:

May 2010 Holidays (Labor Day and National Elections) UPDATE May 3, 2010, Monday, declared as non-working holiday by PGMA

April 13, 2010 by Janey

***UPDATE as of April 28, 2010 1:54 PM: PGMA announced May 3 as a non-working HOLIDAY!***

(wow, I wonder how the KMU will feel about this declaration)

May 1 falls on a Saturday this year. I wonder if it will be moved to another weekday as a non-working holiday? But I heard that some groups lobby that the commemoration won’t be moved since there’s importance to celebrating May 1 on exactly its day. My mind needs another holiday seriously.

Anyone who knows if May 1 will be moved? Has PGMA announced anything?

May 10, 2010 is Philippines’ National Election Day so there’s definitely no work on that specific Monday. PLEASE PLEASE GO AHEAD AND VOTE and VOTE WISELY.

Palace Retracts November 27-28 Holiday, Except in ARMM

November 3, 2009 by Janey

November 27-28, 2009 is no longer a national/regular holiday. Malacañang has issued Proclamation No. 1808-A on October 26, 2009 declaring Feast of Eid’l Adha as Regional Holiday in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao only. This means business as usual in Metro Manila.

People in the Metro who have booked flights/vacation on that supposedly long weekend holiday must be really upset with the holiday “retraction” in Metro Manila. Businessmen must be pretty pleased about it (quite understandable). I almost booked a flight.

Image Source: coolrain44.wordpress.com

(I know someone who works in Singapore and is coming home that weekend to spend time with family during the long holiday in Manila, only to find out that they are supposed to go to work.)

“We apologize for those who have been inconvenienced by the change. Trade Secretary [Peter] Favila and the Department of Trade and Industry appealed for the change in behalf of the business community to limit the nonworking holiday to the ARMM because of the number of holidays declared for November plus the fact that we are still recovering from the twin tragedies of Ondoy and Pepeng that hit Metro Manila and Luzon,” Remonde
