President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has declared December 26 as special non-working day to give Filipinos ample time to celebrate Christmas with their families.
Marcos signed Proclamation No. 115 as he noted that Christmas Day or December 25 falls on Sunday—which is the usual day off for most working Filipinos.
The President believed that a longer weekend will encourage families “to get together and strengthen their relationship towards a more productive environment.”Marcos already ordered the Department of Labor and Employment to issue the appropriate circular to implement the proclamation for the private sector.
Earlier, Malacañang updated the list of regular holidays and special non-working days for 2023, allowing “long weekends.” Proclamation 90, released Nov. 11, amended Proclamation 42, declaring the regular holidays and special non-working days. Under Proclamation 90, Jan. 2, 2023, which falls on a Monday, will be an additional special non-working day “in consideration of the Filipino tradition of visiting relatives and spending time with their families for this occasion.”
