PROCLAMATION NO. 265 of the Malacañang declares Monday, October 31, 2011 as a special non-working holiday throughout the country.   This is to give full opportunity to our people to properly observe the day with all its religious fervor which invariably requires them to travel to and from different regions of the country. Monday, 31 October 2011, may be declared as a special (non-working) day without detriment to public interest. WHEREAS, Proclamation No. 84, dated 20 December 2010, declared Tuesday, 1 November 2011, as a special (non-working) day.

Malacañang has declared August 29 (Monday) and August 30 (Tuesday) non-working holidays, making it a 4-day long weekend for some sectors. On August 29 we will celebrate the National Heroes Day and August 30 is the end of Ramadan. Section 2 of Proclamation 84 states that the proclamations declaring national holidays for the observance of end of Ramadan "shall hereafter be issued after the approximate dates of the Islamic holidays have been determined in accordance with the Islamic calendar or the lunar calendar, or upon Islamic astronomical calculations, whichever is possible or convenient. To this end, the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) shall inform the Office of the President on which day the holiday shall fall."

This coming June 20, 2011, Monday was declared by the Malacañang as holiday. It was declared a special non-working holiday to commemorate the 150th birthday of the country's national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. "(This is) to give all Filipinos the opportunity to commemorate Rizal’s patriotic deeds and sacrifices for the country, rekindle their admiration and respect for him, and to celebrate this milestone with appropriate ceremonies," President Benigno Simeon Aquino III said in Proclamation No.154 issued on April 26. The said date was being declared as holiday because of the request of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines to commemorate the hero's birthday. Rizal's birthday was on June 19 but since it falls on Sunday it was moved to the nearest Monday.

November 30 is the celebration for Bonifacio Day. But basing on Proclamation 1841, issued in July 2009, moves the celebration of the said holiday to the nearest Monday. Therefore the holiday will be moved to November 29. The announcement was made by Deputy Presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte in a text message to reporters. The holiday was also announced on the government's Twitter account. It's another day of no work. It's time to be with family and have fun. Yehey!

President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III declared that November 16 is a holiday. It is the day of celebrating the the Eid'l Adha, or the Islam feast of sacrifice. The holiday was through Proclamation No. 60.
