It has just been declared by the President of the Republic that Tuesday, 30 August 2011 is a regular non-working holiday all throughout the country in celebration of Eid’l Fitr (Feast of Ramadhan). A copy of Proclamation No. 234 can be obtained here.
Prior to this announcement, Monday 29 August 2011 was also declared a non-working holiday to commemorate Araw ng Kagitingan (National Day of Valor).
Thus, we have a long weekend during this last week of August 2011.
Just signed now by P-Noy Proclamation No. 26 declaring 10 September 2010, Friday a non-working holiday all throughout the country in observance of Eid’l Fitr (feast of Ramadan).
A copy of the Proclamation can be seen online at the Official Gazette.
In honor of the late President Corazon “Cory” Aquino, it was declared that this Wednesday, 05 August 2009 will be a Special Non-working Holiday all throughout the country. It will also be on this day when the remains of the late President will be laid into rest at the Manila Memorial Park in Parañaque City (where the body of his husband, the late Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr. lies).
“Cory, di ka nag-iisa.”
UPDATE: So, someone knocked the head of someone in the Palace. They just released a clarification that 27 July 2009 is a WORKING HOLIDAY. In what part of this planet had you heard of a “working” holiday. Read all BS stuff here.
You read it right! On the last Monday of this month, the 27th, aside from the President (your’s not mine) will give her last SONA (hopefully), it will also coincide with the founding anniversary of the Iglesia ni Cristo. Not much fun fare there was, during our celebration of the country’s independence this year, it was signed into law as RA 9645 declaring the 27th of every July thereafter a non-working holiday.
As of this posting, I cannot locate a copy of the Republic Act. But was lucky to find a copy of the House Bill, which was the basis for this RA.
