For next year, 2019, our dearest President Rodrigo Duterte signed the 555th Proclamation which declared the regular Philippine holidays and the special non-working holidays.

What about the Islamic holidays that we observe yearly?

Although these Philippine holidays for next year are already out, there are some holidays in which all of us are still uncertain of when the dates will be.

Given the fact that the Gregorian calendar (the calendar that we follow) and the Islamic lunar calendar follows two (2) different rules, both the Eid’l Fitr and the Eid al-Adha are still to be announced when the dates are approaching.

But now that you know the different dates for the holidays of next year, you can plan accordingly. If you have planned leaves and vacations, you can now file under or close these dates if you wish to. Knowing which days the holidays will fall on is greatly beneficial especially if you’re an employee. Why? Because you get to maximize the time of your leaves and your benefits.
