Malacañang has updated the list of regular holidays and special non-working days for 2023, allowing “long weekends.”

Proclamation 90, signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin last Nov. 11, amends Proclamation 42 declaring the regular holidays and special non-working days.

“There is a need to adjust these holidays pursuant to the principle of holiday economics wherein a long weekend will help encourage domestic travel and increase tourism expenditures in the country,” the proclamation read.
