Philippine Holidays 2009
Are you wondering where to find a list of holidays in the Philippines for the year 2009?
Here are the regular holidays (except where otherwise indicated) in the Philippines this year:
- April 6 (Monday) - Araw ng Kagitingan (originally April 9, but it's now moved to the nearest Monday)
- April 9 (Holy Thursday)
- April 10 (Good Friday)
- May 1 (Friday) - Labor Day
- June 12 (Friday) - Independence Day
- Aug 21 (Friday) - Ninoy Aquino Day [Special Non-Working Day]

In Macuha.com's List of Philippine Holidays For 2009, you'll find his handy summary of the ten long weekends in 2009.
* Last year, Eid al-Fitr was on Sept. 30, 2008 (according to When-Is.com), and since Malacañang announced the same also on Sept 30, I'm guessing that the date mentioned in When-Is.com for 2009 will also be the same date that Eid al-Fitr will be observed in the Philippines. Still, it's better to wait for the official announcement.
