Carry those unused leaves over for another year full of long weekends!
It is only a matter of days before everyone puts another year behind to welcome a new one. Usually, people just do a quick reminiscing of the past year through Spotify Wrapped, a lengthy year-end essay on Facebook, or a quick montage on Instagram—and that is all.
After that, the majority of the people face another year head-on and go about their yearly planning, of course, in consideration of their leave counts and available holidays.
So, for anyone who is already organizing the upcoming year as early as now, here’s the official list of Philippine holidays in 2024:
