Vacations are generally welcome, for Pinoy Dads to relax or spend time with the family. There are a number of factors when planning a vacation. Others who want a more relaxed and not-so-crowded vacation would want to have it when others are not on vacation. One of the factors to consider, therefore, is the date of holidays, primarily on account of the “holiday economics” in the form of long weekends. Here’s the list of declared regular and national holidays for 2009 (unless otherwise indicated, the dates were fixed through Proclamation No. 1699):

Kelan marelease ang final dates?
Jean, the post had been revised to reflect the updates.
Wala bang magsasabi sa economic manager ni gloria na i-move yung april 9 to the next monday April 13, 2009. Kasi ipit na araw yung april 7 and 8 (Tuesday and Wednesday).
Para tuloy-tuloy ang holiday. Holiday APril 6, 9, 10
dapat April 9, 10, 13.
any idea when ang Eid’l Fitr (Feast of Ramadhan)?
august 31 official na?
Nikki, wala pa naman kaming alam na Proclamation ang Malacanang na nililipat ang August 31 na holiday. Ibig sabihin, sa Aug 31 pa rin ang National Heroes Day.
