Posted by GRACE, on 18-02-2009, Hi! I would like to inquire if February 25, 2009 is already declared as a special non-working holiday? In the previous years, we have been observing this holiday, so i would just like to ask if for this year, 2009 it is still a special non-working holiday. thanks and God Bless.   Posted by Fred, on 18-02-2009, Josa, please refer to the discussion in this post -- Official 2009 Holidays: Declared Regular and National Holidays in the Philippines (click here).   Posted by Josa, on 17-02-2009, What about February 25 in 2009?
