14 January 2009 No Comment

Kudos to GMA for the early announcement of the holidays. Only downside of this is that its only January and the nearest holiday is April.

The observance of Araw ng Kagitingan (Day of Valor) on April 9 (Thursday) was moved to the nearest Monday which is April 6.

This will be followed by the Easter holidays from April 9 (Maundy Thursday) until April 12 (Easter Sunday).

The other regular holidays are:

* Labor Day-May 1(Friday);
* Independence Day- June 12 (Friday);
* National Heroes Day- August 31 (Monday);
* Bonifacio Day – November 30 (Monday);
* Christmas Day- December 25 (Friday); and,
* Rizal Day- December 30 (Wednesday).

Arroyo declared the following as Special Non-Working Days:

* Ninoy Aquino Day – August 21 (Friday);
* All Saints Day – November 1 (Sunday) and All Soul’s Day – November 2 (Monday);
* Christmas Eve – December 24 (Thursday); and,
* New Year’s Eve – December 31 (Thursday).
