Official list of Philippine holidays for 2008

Below is a list of official holidays in the Philippines for 2008. Got any plans for the long weekends? Enjoy! Wohoo! Official List of Philippine Holidays for 2008 (based on Republic Act 9492 or “An Act Rationalizing the Celebration of National Holidays”) (exact dates for holidays in 2008 as provided for in Proclamation No. 1463, “Declaring the Regular Holidays and Special (non-working) Days for the Year 2008?) A. Regular Holidays

B. Special (non-working) holidays

The date of the observance of Eid’l Fitr (Feast of Ramadhan) will be issued after the approximate date of the Islamic Holiday has been determined. This will be confirmed by the Office of Muslim Affairs. Copy of Proclamation No. 1463

Note that December 24 is almost always made into a holiday (or at least a half-day working day) in most companies, December 25 is Christmas Day, December 26 is already proclaimed a special non-working day, December 27 and 28 are weekends, December 29 is again a special non-working day, December 30 is Rizal Day, December 31 is a special holiday, January 1 is New Year, and January 2 and 3 are weekends — which means the Christmas season is going to be a 12-day holiday for most people! No work, just play from December 24, 2008 until January 4, 2009
