Below is a list of the different Holidays for the year of 2008. Take note that some of these holidays are moved on a Monday, in pursuant to Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s RA 9242 also known as “Holiday Economic Policy“.

January 1 – New Yearâ€™s Day
March 20 – Maundy Thursday
March 21 – Good Friday
April 7 – Araw ng Kagitingan (in lieu of April 9)
May 5 – Labor Day (in lieu of May 1)
June 16 – Independence Day (in lieu of June 12)
August 25 – Ninoy Aquino Day (in lieu of August 21)
August 25 – National Heroes Day
October 1 – Eidâ€™l Fitr (to be confirmed by the OMA)
November 1 – All Saints Day
December 1 – Bonifacio Day (in lieu of Nov. 30)
December 25 – Christmas Day
December 29 – Rizal Day Monday nearest December 30
December 31 – Last Day of the Year

The said economic policy aims to provide a longer weekend break for employees and an undisrupted working week for businesses/employers. Well, poor for me, my work is on Tues to Sat. So I dont get double pay or at least a pay without work for said holidays because of the said schedule and policy. hehehe.
