2011 Philippine Holidays... Bakasyon, bakasyon, bakasyon!

So far, dito ko lang sa Pinas na-experience na madaming non-working holidays in a year. There's the nationwide regular public holidays, special non-working holidays, at meron pang local holidays. A lot of the holidays were moved to the nearest Monday to it... Kaya madaming long weekends! Winner!

The earlier we know about these holidays, the better we can plan our vacations, right? So I posted it here... for those na may balak mag-file ng leave, here's the guide to our holidays schedule.
