It includes two special non-working holidays, January 2 and
November 2, in keeping with "holiday economics".
“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,” the proclamation said. “For the year 2023, New Year’s Day falls on a Sunday. In consideration of the Filipino tradition of visiting relatives and spending time with their families for this occasion, it is but fitting to declare January 2 (Monday) as an additional special (non-working) day throughout the country.”
The officially declared holidays for 2023 are:
REGULAR HOLIDAYS:
January 1 – New Year’s Day (Sunday)
April 6 – Maundy Thursday
April 7 – Good Friday
April 10 – Araw ng Kagitingan (Monday nearest to April 9,
