List of Philippine holidays for 2010 announced
Perhaps, President Arroyo wants to leave a legacy of holiday economics. Malacanang has announced a complete list of Philippine holidays for 2010, even if her term expires in May of next year.
The whole listing follows:
January 1 – New Year’s Day
April 1 – Maundy Thursday
April 2- Good Friday
April 9- Araw ng Kagitingan
Labor Day -May 1
Independence Day – June 14
Ninoy Aquino Day – Aug. 23
National Heroes Day – August 30
All Saint’s Day – November 1
Bonifacio Day – November 29
Christmas Day- December 25
Rizal Day-December 27
December 24 and December 31 are traditionally declared as special non-working days to honor long-held family traditions for the advent of Christmas and New Year.
The list does not include the Muslim celebrations of Eid’l Fitr (end of Ramadan) and Eid’l Adha which are declared by law as holidays as well.
It’s kinda cryptic why the President would declare a presidential proclamation of the holidays this early, when some of the dates are no longer covered by her presidency next year. We just have to believe Malacanang when they say it’s for the sake of business projections and planning. We love these holidays because it allows for some family bonding time. Besides, we can eat and travel all we can!!!
