Time to plan those holidays in advance!
Malacañang has released the list of official nationwide holidays for 2017, as signed by President Rodrigo Duterte.
There are 10 regular and seven special non-working holidays, including five long weekends.
Two more national holidays will be announced once dates for Eid’l Fitr and Eidul Adha are confirmed.
The Palace also declared Oct 31 an additional special non-working holiday, not because it’s Halloween but so people can prepare for All Saint’s Day.
