Malacanang Palace on Wednesday issued the list of holidays for 2015 including eight long weekends which is based on Proclamation No. 831 signed by President Benigno Aquino July 17.
These include the weekend after January 1 (Thursday), a regular holiday for New Year’s Day, and January 2 (Friday), which was declared a special non-working day.
