Malacañang released Wednesday a new list of regular and special non-working holidays, adjusting some dates to promote the “holiday economics.” It was previously implemented during the presidency of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. read Proclamation No. 90, “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 “no work, no pay” scheme applies on special non-working holidays.

The proclamation was signed on November 11 and was made public on Wednesday.
