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“.

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

December 1 - Bonifacio Day (in lieu of Nov. 30)
December 25 - Christmas Day

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.
