Planning your vacation leaves for next year?
Get your planners out and save the dates! A new proclamation declaring additional holidays and adjusting other non-working days for 2023 has just been announced.
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Wednesday, Nov. 16 issued Proclamation No. 90, which now declares January 2, 2023 as a special non-working day while April 10 and November 27, 2023 are now considered as regular holidays. This amends Proclamation No. 42 which was issued in August.
"There is a need to adjust these holidays pursuant to the principle of holiday economics wherein a longer weekend will help encourage domestic travel and increase tourism expenditures in the country," Marcos said.
Since New Year's Day in 2023 falls on a Sunday the President said "it is but fitting to declare January 2 (Monday) as an additional special non-working day throughout the country."
Araw ng Kagitingan (April 9) falls on a Sunday as well.
"To enable our countrymen to avail of the benefits of a longer weekend, Monday, April 10, 2023, in lieu of Sunday, April 9, 2023 may be declared as a non-working holiday, provided that the historical significance of Araw ng Kagitingan is maintained," he said.
Bonifacio Day, which is observed on November 30, falls on a Thursday for 2023. Marcos said November 27 may be declared as a non-working holiday while November 30 may be declared as a working day.
Since New Year's Day falls on a Sunday, January 2 has also been declared an additional special non-working day.

Federal holidays 2023 with free printable templates in Word, Excel and PDF formats
An overview of United States federal holidays and observances in 2023 as established by federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103). If a public holiday falls on a non-working day (Saturday or Sunday for most federal employees), the holiday is usually observed (and marked as such in the overview below) on the preceding Friday if the federal holiday falls on a Saturday, or on the following Monday if the federal holiday falls on a Sunday. Please note that the official federal name for Presidents' Day, which honors George Washington, is Washington's Birthday. The name Presidents' Day (also often written President's Day or Presidents Day) is used here because the holiday is widely known under this name, especially in states which remember additional presidents (Lincoln, Jefferson and others) together with George Washington. More information about federal holidays and other national observances can be found on Wikipedia: Federal holidays in the United States.
