Palace: 26 December a special non-working day
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has declared 26 December 2023, as a special non-working day, providing Filipinos with an extended weekend during this year's holiday season after Christmas.
Malacañang on Tuesday released Proclamation No. 425, signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin.
"[A] longer weekend wil encourage families to get together and strengthen their relationship leading to a better society," part of the proclamation read.
Marcos then directed the Department of Labor and Employment to issue the appropriate circular to implement this Proclamation for the private sector.
