I’m pretty sure this news will bring back the energetic working Filipinos out there and will drive students to have more ‘hardworking’ attitude.
The Malacañang Palace announced 2015’s regular holidays, special school holidays and special non-working days through the Proclamation No. 831, s. 2014. On the issued proclamation last July 17, 2014, the office of the President gives us the hope of having 10 long weekends in 2015. Thus, we could practically plan and spend more time with our family, friends and loved ones.
I know all of us are really hoping for this kind of celebration especially those who are already working like me. For long-weekends like these, we should now book a flight or plan for a getaway with our friends and do whatever we want! Here's the official list of Holidays in 2015.
January 1, 2015, Thursday – New Year’s Day
