Philippine Holidays for 2009
Note: Check out the updated news (as of 08 January 2009) regarding Philippine Holidays for 2009 at this link.
If we were to base the Philippine Holiday “schedule” on Proclamation 1463, we’re possibly looking at the following:
A. Regular Holidays
· Araw ng Kagitingan – Thursday, 09 April
· Maundy Thursday – Thursday, 09 April
· Good Friday – Friday, 10 April
· Labor Day – - Friday, 01 May
· Independence Day – Friday, 12 June. Might not be moved to nearest Monday anymore
· National Heroes Day – Last Monday of August (31 August)
· Bonifacio Day – Already on a Monday, 30 November
· Christmas Day – Friday, 25 December
· Rizal Day – Wednesday, 30 December
B. Special (non-working) Holidays
· Ninoy Aquino Day – Monday, 24 August (or might be retained on Friday, 21 August)
· All Saints Day – Sunday, 01 November
· Last Day of the Year – Thursday, 31 December
· Eid – open date, but the internet says 20 September.
Plus other holidays that may be announced from time to time.
Just a thought: if TWO regular holidays fall on the same day, do employees get 400% pay? (Don’t answer that.)
Disclaimer: This is in no way an authoritative or official declaration of Philippine Holidays for 2009. All information or conclusions were based on previous declared events.
2 regular holiday falls on the same day might be 300% pay. it happened in 1998. i worked for a food chain. its also araw ng kagitingan and holy day not sure if maundy thurs or good fri. wn insighte”re paid triple for a day’s work
just an insight
I think EDSA Revolution day on February needs to be added in the list
TO IAN:
The EDSA Revolution, though commemorated often, is sometimes undeclared as a holiday.
It was left out from Proclamation 1463 last year, so it’s prudent that we leave it at that and let the government decide on it.
