Long weekends are frequently the result of holidays happening on a Friday or a Monday. This year, many holidays fall on Monday, thereby extending multiple weekends. Some are ordinary holidays, while others have been allocated non-working days.
Classes in schools and work in most workplaces and businesses, particularly government agencies, are canceled on regular holidays. In the Philippine calendar, these days are highlighted in red. Those that show up for work get paid for an extra day.
However, there are no long weekends in July 2023, but there are still numerous long weekends left in the year.
