2010 Holidays Declared. Book That Vacation!

July 24, 2009 by Janey

Time to pencil in the 2010 calendar your travel plans!

There were some debacles over President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s recent signing of Republic Act 9645 declaring July 27, 2009 and same date of the years that follow as a special national “working holiday” in recognition of the founding anniversary of Iglesia ni Cristo. Everyone was baffled over PGMA’s move as some comments that there is no use signing that decree if it will be a working holiday anyway. It’s only a special announcement that memorializes Iglesia ni Cristo day. Another commenter on this blog said that if that’s the case then to be fair, PGMA should recognize other sects as well with their own special “working holiday,” which I see as a very good point.

Let’s not burst our bubble. Here’s the list of 2010 declared holidays.

Regular Holidays 2010

1. New Year’s Day (January 1)

2. Maundy Thursday (April 1)

3. Good Friday (April 2)

4. Araw ng Kagitingan (April 9)

5. Labor Day (May 1)

6. Independence Day (June 14, Monday nearest June 12)

7. National Heroes Day (August 30, last Monday of August)

8. Bonifacio Day (November 29, Monday nearest November 30)

9. Christmas Day (December 25, Saturday)

10. 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

Special Non-working Days

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.

“In order to foster closer family ties and enable our countrymen to observe Christmas more meaningful, it is but fitting to declare December 24 as an additional special (non-working) day throughout the day,” Arroyo said in the proclamation.

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.
