Philippine Holidays Schedule for 2010Philippine holidays for 2010 have been declared by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo who signed a proclamation declaring the regular holidays, special (non-working) days and special holiday (for all schools) for the year 2010.Consistent with the President's advocacy of holiday economics to boost domestic tourism and to allow Filipinos to have more time with their families, there will be some long Philippine holiday vacation opportunities in 2010. Holiday economics entails the transfer of some holidays to a Monday or a Friday so that Filipinos may enjoy longer weekends. Following President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's declaration of long holidays for 2010, the Department of Tourism (DOT) has enticed Filipinos to start planning their out-of-town Philippine holiday vacations early. "We urge our countrymen to explore the 7,107 islands they haven't seen or would like to revisit. We have the beach, mountains, countryside, heritage sites, caves, rivers, food trips, urban verve -- almost everything a traveler would want to experience, the Philippines has it. "We also urge our partners – hotels, resorts, spas, tour operators, and transportation stakeholders – to create more options and flexible packages. We have a very broad range of options to offer the most picky tourist. Group tours will also be big as we all know that Filipinos love to travel with their families and friends," said Durano. Although Boracay, Palawan, Davao, Cebu, Bohol, Vigan, Baguio and Manila are the country's top spots, the agency is similarly advocating discovery of unexplored sites. Siquijor, Camiguin, Quezon, Zamboanga del Sur and del Norte, Camsur, Batangas, Mindoro, Dumaguete, Leyte and Negros also have pristine beaches that can rival Boracay. While old heritage sites are not exclusive to Vigan, as Iloilo, Bacolod, and Laguna have their own century-old architectural marvels to enjoy during a Philippine holiday. Trekkers may consider the mountains of Sagada, Cavite, Bataan, Bulacan, Mountain Province, Romblon, Batanes, and Marinduque, among others, said Jarque. "In other parts of the world, birdwatching is an expensive leisure pursuit, taken up mostly by famous personalities. Here, we have over 200 endemic species of birds within our view, we should be the first to discover our own national treasures," Jarque said. The Palace has declared the following as a Philippine holiday and regular and special non-working holidays for 2010: A. Regular Philippine Holidays * New Year's Day - January 1 B. Special (Non-Working) Days * Ninoy Aquino Day - August 23 (Monday nearest August 21) C. Special Holiday (for all schools) * EDSA Revolution Anniversary - February 22 (Monday nearest February 25)
