Maybe you're planning your 2009 vacations this early. Most of the 2009 regular holidays and nationwide special holidays are movable, as provided under Republic Act 9492 (an Act rationalizing the celebration of national holidays). For these movable holidays, the President is tasked by law to issue a Proclamation, at least 6 months prior to a movable holiday, fixing the specific date of that non-working day (if you're looking for the guidelines on the computation of holiday pay or premium, go here). Here's the list of Philippine holidays under RA 9492 and Proclamation 1699, unless otherwise indicated:
National Regular Holidays and Special Non-Working Holidays (unless otherwise indicated as a special non-working holiday, the holiday listed is a regular holiday) | | > New Year’s Day | January 1, 2009* | | > Special Non-Working Holiday | January 2, 2009* (Proclamation 1695)
