As my first post for the year 2010, I decided to share the official list of 2010 Holidays in the Philippines. Although it was declared about middle of last year, most people (just like me) still don't know when are the official holidays. Knowing this will guide you on planning your vacation especially for the working class, now that summer is just around the corner.
To be observed as regular holidays in 2010 are :
New Year's Day (January 1)
Maundy Thursday (April 1)
Good Friday (April 2)
Araw ng Kagitingan (April 9)
Labor Day (May 1)
Independence Day (June 14, Monday nearest June 12)
National Heroes Day (August 30, last Monday of August)
Bonifacio Day (November 29, Monday nearest November 30)
Christmas Day (December 25, Saturday)
Rizal Day (December 27, Monday nearest December 30).
Under Republic Act 9492, holidays, except those that are religious in nature, are moved to the nearest Monday unless otherwise modified by law, order or proclamation.
The special non-working days are Ninoy Aquino Day (August 23, Monday nearest Aug August 23), All Saints Day (Nov. 1, Monday), as well as December 24 and December 31, the last day of the year.
The 1986 People Power Revolution anniversary (February 22, Monday nearest February 25) is declared as a special holiday for all schools.
The government will issue other proclamations declaring a national holiday for the observance of the Eid'l Fitr and Eid'l Adha, whose dates are determined based on the lunar calendar.
Arroyo has signed Republic Act 9645 declaring July 27 of every year as special national "working holiday" in recognition of the founding anniversary of Iglesia ni Cristo.
