Know your Holiday

Every year, I always look forward to the list of Philippines holiday and school calendar so I could plan for our long weekend. I want to know if we could plan a travel trip or home renovation on those dates. It is really nice to take advantage of those long weekends for a family trip if budget permits. Anyway, we still have six remaining long weekends for the second half of 2015. #walangpasok

July 17-19 - EID’L FITR on July 17 (Friday) 
Aug 21-23 - August 21 is Ninoy Aquino Day (Friday). 
Aug 29-31 - August 31 is National Heroes Day (Monday) 
Nov 28-30 - November 30 is Bonifacio Day (Monday) 
Dec 24-27 - December 24 is Christmas Eve (Thursday) and December 25 is Christmas (Friday) 
Dec 30 - Jan 3 - Dec 30 is Rizal Day (Wednesday) and December 31 is New Year’s Eve (Thursday).

I’ve just learned this yesterday so mark your calendar. Though this is not a long weekend. Palace declares November 18 and 19 as Special Non-Working Days in NCR for the APEC Summit (Proc 1072).

For the longest time, Feb. 25 is always a working holiday but the school has no classes but this coming 2016 “Palace declares Feb 25, 2016 as Special Non-working Holiday for 30th anniversary of EDSA revolution.”

      That's my dilemma too when I was still working in BPO.

      Staycation is also nice if there's no seat sale. :)
