Is April 4, 2012 (Holy Wednesday) a holiday in the Philippines?

>
It will be a very long weekend ahead for the Filipinos.

Maundy Thursday (April 5) and Good Friday (April 6) were among the regular holidays in the Philippines and are included in Proclamation 295 signed by Pres. Noynoy Aquino.    The Filipinos will also observe Holy Saturday on April 7) and Easter Sunday (April 8).

Some Filipinos are asking if April 4 (Holy Wednesday) was declared a holiday.  It is not included in the list of regular and special holidays for 2012 but in previous years, Holy Wednesday is usually declared a half-day holiday to give time for employees go home for the Holy Week, especially those living in provinces.  As of posting, no news yet if Holy Wednesday will be declared a holiday.

Apart from these holidays, April 9, Monday was also declared a holiday to commemorate Araw ng Kagitingan or Day of Valor which marks the greatness of Filipino fighters during World War II.

Happy long weekend!
