Philippine Holidays 2010
The official list of Philippine holidays for 2010 was already declared by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo early this year through Proclamation 1841. The early declaration would help schools and businessmen prepare ahead.
Every declaration of a non-working holiday would result to a “P8 million loss” for companies, Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said.
According to Republic Act 9492, holidays, except those that are religious in nature, are moved to the nearest Monday unless otherwise modified by law, order or proclamation.

I do not agree in moving days of holidays to Mondays, I belive its the most import day of work special in Government and private sector’s as well. I the objective is to have a long week end, might as well have the holiday on a Friday. Since most employees always look forward for that. Just in the case of holidays on June 12, August 21 and August 28 which fell on a Saturday.

Fr. Felmar buti pa kayo napa ngiti. Alam nyo po ba na dahil sa pagmo move ni GMA ng mga holidays to Monday ay hindi na kami halos nakaka enjoy ng mga holidays dahil monday kc talaga ang day-off namin being Church employees?
We work from Tuesday to Sunday at Monday lng ang day-off namin. Masaya sana kami na nakakapag enjoy ng mga holidays with our families pero dahil nga sa pagmo move na yan ng mga holidays sa monday we feel na hindi ito fair.
Dapat ay Friday nya na lang mino move para naman maramdaman namin na part din pala kami ng Philippine Holidays. Sana ay mabasa ito ng Pangulo at nang bagong magiging pangulo ng Pilipinas.
Pwede din naman na magpalabas din sila ng Labor directives na mag uutos sa mga employer na bigyan ng another day-off ang mga employee na may regular day off ng monday kapag ang isang holiday ay ginawang Monday ng Pangulo.
Sana ay mabigyang pansin ito ng mga kinauukulan sa Malacañang.
Gumagalang

May date na ba ang Eid’l Fitr / Feast of Ramadan?
Some say it’s Sept 10. Others say it’s Sept. 11.
Or do we wait for formal announcement by Malacanang?
