As I have previously posted, I have joined the ratrace. And with that, I now don't have the luxury of going on vacation ANYTIME. I have to reconsider taking vacations on declared holidays to minimize using my leaves.
Recently, President Rodrigo Duterte has declared the regular holidays, special non-working holidays as well as special holidays for scools in 2017 through Proclamation No. 50. He declared the following dates as holidays:
Regular Holidays
January 1, 2017 (Sunday) - New Year's Day
April 9, 2017 (Sunday) - Araw ng Kagitingan
April 13, 2017 (Thursday) - Maundy Thursday
April 14, 2017 (Friday) - Good Friday
May 1, 2017 (Monday) - Labor Day
June 12, 2017 (Monday) - Independence Day
August 28, 2017 (Monday) - National Heroes Day
November 30, 2017 (Thursday) - Bonifacio Day
December 25, 2017 (Monday) - Christmas Day
December 30, 2017 (Saturday) - Rizal Day
Special Non-Working Holiday
January 28, 2017 (Saturday) - New Year's Day
April 15, 2017 (Saturday) - Black Saturday
August 21, 2017 (Monday) - Benigno Aquino Jr. Day
November 1, 2017(Wednesday) - All Saints Day
December 31, 2017 (Sunday) - Last Day of the Year
Additional Holidays
October 31, 2017 (Tuesday) - day before All Saints Day to "strengthen family ties by providing more time for traditional All Saints' Day commemorative activities and to promote domestic tourism"
Eid'l Adha and Eid'l Fitr will be confirmed by the Muslim community and will be depend on Muslim calendars.
The proclamation likewise cited Republic Act 9492 for moving holidays, unless religious in nature, to the nearest Monday.
So now, I'm excited to search on the interenet for seat sales to arrange our vacations accordingly.
