The Proclamation did not state the exact dates when Eid’l Fitr and Eidul Adha will be observed, as both are movable holidays that are dependent on the Muslim calendar.

Philippine Holidays in 2011

The government has somewhat learned its lesson. So as early as now, the President of the Republic of the Philippines through the Executive Secretary has released the list of Regular Holidays, Special (Non-working) Days, and Special Holiday (For All Schools) for the Year 2011 via Proclamation No. 84:

01 Jan 2011 (New Year’s Day)

25 Feb 2011 (EDSA Revolution Anniversary — Special Holiday for All Schools only)

09 Apr 2011 (Araw ng Kagitingan)

21 Apr 2011 (Maundy Thursday)

22 Apr 2011 (Good Friday)

01 May 2011 (Labor Day)

12 Jun 2011 (Independence Day)

21 Aug 2011 (Ninoy Aquino Day)

29 Aug 2011 (National Heroes Day)

01 Nov 2011 (All Saints Day)

30 Nov 2011 (Bonifacio Day)

25 Dec 2011 (Christmas Day)

30 Dec 2011 (Rizal Day)

31 Dec 2011 (Last Day of the Year)

~ Observance of Eid’l Fitr and Eidul Adha will be determined based on the Islamic calendar (Hijra) or the lunar calendar, or upon Islamic astronomical calculations, whichever is possible or convenient — the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) shall inform the Office of the President on which day the holiday(s) shall fall.

07 & 21 Sep 2009 are Non-working Holidays

It was just declared by The Palace today, 04 Sep 2009 (the 2nd birthday of my son, Robyn Andi Xeon) that Mon 07 Sep 2009 and Mon 21 Sep 2009 will be a Non-working Holidays all throughout the Philippines.

07 Sep 2009 was declared as a National Day of Mourning in honor of the Iglesia ni Cristo’s executive leader Eraño Manalo, while 21 Sep 2009 will be for Eid Ul Fitr (last day of Ramadan).

Can’t they just declare my birthday as a holiday as well?

Official Philippine Holidays for 2009

The President of the Philippines (I’m still wary of her legitimacy) declared the following dates as the official holidays of the republic for 2009, based on Proclamation 1699 dated 24 December 2008:

06 APR 2009   Araw ng Kagitingan (instead of 09 APR 2009)
09 APR 2009   Maundy Thursday
10 APR 2009   Good Friday
01 MAY 2009   Labor Day
21 AUG 2009   Ninoy Aquino Day
12 JUN 2009   Independence Day
31 AUG 2009   National Heroes Day
02 NOV 2009   Additional Non-working Holiday (just after the All Saints Day)
30 NOV 2009   Bonifacio Day
24 DEC 2009   Additional Non-working Holiday (Christmas Eve)
25 DEC 2009   Christmas Day
30 DEC 2009   Rizal Day

I am just wondering why 31 DEC 2009 (last day of the year) was not declared a holiday.
