Official Philippine Holidays 2012
Here’s a summary of the dates officially declared by the Philippine government as holidays for the year 2012.
Unlike in the past years when “Holiday Economics” was implemented, holidays are not anymore moved to the nearest Monday or Friday when they fall during the middle of the week or during the weekend. As a result, “long weekends” are now a rare occurrence.
Christmas Day, December 25, this year falls on a Tuesday. Christmas Eve, December 24, is a Monday and is not declared a holiday. Will the government give this as a Christmas gift to Filipinos and declare Christmas Eve an official holiday?
They better should, otherwise we can expect a lot of people to file their leaves that day and perhaps extend their vacation until New Year’s Day in 2013.
Update: Pres. Noynoy Aquino signed Proclamation No. 361 on April 4, 2012 declaring December 24, 2012 a special non-working holiday. Good to know they have now declared Christmas Eve a holiday. But do you think the two-day holidays (December 24 and 25) are enough for you to celebrate Christmas? Will you go to work on December 26 or file a leave on that day and perhaps extend vacation until New Year 2013?
