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. 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). The Philippine holidays listed below are under RA 9492 and Proclamation 1699, unless otherwise indicated.

The Eidul Adha shall be celebrated as a regional holiday in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). The list will be updated, with specific dates, and other special holidays will be added as soon as the relevant Proclamation/s is/are issued. (Note: *already fixed by law or the appropriate Proclamation; ** special non-working holidays.) For 2008 holidays, go here. Click here for full text of Proclamation 1699.
