Every year, we post a list of holidays for the following year. This is for every employee and student to properly plan vacations and getaways with friends and family. 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.
President Duterte signed the proclamation last Wednesday, August 15, 2018, and you should know it so you can plan ahead of time.

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.
