President Benigno S. Aquino III signed Proclamation no. 655 entitled DECLARING THE REGULAR HOLIDAYS, SPECIAL (NON-WORKING)
DAYS, AND SPECIAL HOLIDAY (FOR ALL SCHOOLS) FOR THE YEAR 2014.
According to the Proclamation No. 655, the Philippines 2014 holidays are categorized into three: Regular Holidays, Special (Non-Working) Days and
Special Holiday (for all schools).
The proclamation also has provisions for the national holidays in observance of Eidl Fitr and Eid ul Adha, but the exact dates are still to be determined
in accordance with the Islamic Calendar or the lunar calendar.
Holidays in 2015 are listed in their original dates pending the issuance of Presidential proclamation.
