Philippine Regular Holidays & Special (Non-Working Days) For 2008

by AMBO on March 6, 2008

Malacañang released Proclamation No. 1463, which declared the Philippines regular holidays and special nonworking holidays for 2008.

This year, the following regular holidays shall fall on the following dates:

• Maundy Thursday (March 20, Thursday);
• Good Friday (March 21, Friday);
• Araw ng Kagitingan (April 7, Monday nearest April 9);
• Labor Day (May 1, Thursday);
• Independence Day (June 9, Monday nearest June 12);
• National Heroes’ Day (Aug. 25, last Monday of August);
• Bonifacio Day (Dec. 1, Monday nearest Nov. 30);
• Christmas Day (Dec. 25, Thursday); and
• Rizal Day (Dec. 30, Tuesday).

Meanwhile, the Special (Non-Working) Holidays for 2008 shall fall on the following dates:

• Ninoy Aquino Day (Aug.18, Monday nearest Aug. 21);
• All Saints’ Day (Nov. 1, Saturday);
• Additional Special (Non-Working) Day (Dec. 26, Friday);
• Additional Special (Non-Working) Day (Dec. 29, Monday); and the
• Last day of the year (Dec. 31, Wednesday).

The President ordered the Office of Muslim Affairs (OMA) to inform the Office of the President (OP) “on which day the said holiday shall fall.” This is for the Muslims’ observance of Eidul Fitr.

The President said another proclamation shall be issued declaring the Eidul Fitr date as a national holiday for Muslims “after the appropriate date of the Islamic holiday has been determined in accordance with the Islamic calendar (Hijra) or the lunar calendar, or upon Islamic astronomical calculations, whichever is possible or convenient.”

Enjoy the holidays!
