The Malacañang Palace has recently released Proclamation No. 295 declaring the regular, non-working, and special holidays in the Philippines for the year 2012. As homeschoolers, we are essentially unaffected by this list. But we do have to take note of them anyway, for practical and obvious reasons.
A. Regular Holidays
New Year’s Day – January 1 (Sunday)
Maundy Thursday – April 5
Good Friday – April 6
Araw ng Kagitingan – April 9 (Monday)
Labor Day – May 1 (Tuesday)
Independence Day – June 12 (Tuesday)
National Heroes Day – August 27 (Last Monday of August)
Bonifacio Day – November 30 (Friday)
Christmas Day – December 25 (Tuesday)
Rizal Day – December 30 (Sunday)
B. Special (Non-Working) Days
Chinese New Year – January 23 (Monday)

Additional special (non-working) day– November 2 (Friday)

I just thought I’d have this one posted for our future reference. We have strategically plotted our upcoming travels until December 2012. This list of Philippine Holidays 2012 will guide us with our other various activities, ministry and personal.
