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

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.”
My cousin got excited with the November 18 to 19 holiday. She missed the "in NCR" part. Now, she is disappointed. hehehe
ReplyDeleteHehehe! Just like when pope came in the Philippines last January, NCR has special non working holidays too.
DeleteThere are lots of long weekends for the rest of the year. I have to plan something for these weekends.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward for these holiday! Need to start planning for vacations =)
ReplyDeleteI am eyeing for the August 29-31 long weekend for a vacation at my hometown. :-)
