August 2011 Holidays in the Philippines

 

 

In the recent years, August is that other month where we have at least 2 long weekends.  This year might not be the case unless President Noy Aquino declares Ninoy Aquino (incidentally his father) Day, which falls on a Sunday, moved to the following Monday.  Very unlikely.

 

August 2011 holiday

August 2011 Philippine Holiday

 

There are two holidays this August 2011:

 

National Heroes Day

August 29, Monday

Regular Holiday

 

 

Ninoy Aquino Day

August 21, Sunday

Special Non-working Holiday

 

If President Aquino doesn’t declare August 22 as a special non-working holiday then we have to be satisfied with only one long weekend in August.

August 29 that falls on a Monday is a regular holiday which means that it will be a non-working day.   

 

*****UPDATE*****  August 5, 2011

 

August 21, 29 and 30 declared as holidays!  Even Aug. 19 too for those in Quezon City!

 

August 19 (Friday) has been declared as a non-working holiday for Quezon City-based employees in commemoration of Quezon City Day.

 

August 21 (Sunday) will be a special non-working holiday in commemoration of Benigno S. Aquino death anniversary, by virtue of Proclamation 84, which brings back the celebration of national holidays on their actual dates.

 

August 29 (Monday) is declared as a holiday throughout the country to celebrate National Heroes Day.

 

August 30 (Tuesday) is likewise declared as a special non-working holiday in commemoration of Eid’l Fit’r (End of Ramadan).

 

HOORAY for the 4-day long weekend!!!  **little dance.  little dance**

2011 Philippine Holidays Declared, No More Long Weekends

 

 

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.

New Year’s Day – January 1 (Saturday)

Araw ng Kagitingan – April 9 (Saturday)

Announcement of the national holiday for observing the Islamic holidays Eid’l Fitr and Eidul Adha is yet to declared following the lunar or Islamic calendar.  The date will be determined by The National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF).

 

 

December 2010 Holidays Declared

 

 

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.

 

 

November 29 is Declared a Holiday in Observance of Bonifacio Day

 

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.

September 10, 2010 is a REGULAR Holiday

 

***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) 😉

 

Celebrate LIFE!

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

 

 

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) 😉

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.
