Another long weekend is set to take place in line with the 2024 April regular holiday in commemoration of the Day of Valor, and additionally, with the expected date of Eid al-Fitr 2024.

Similar to last year, the 2024 holidays in the Philippines could result in several long weekends. According to Proclamation No. 368, which declares the Regular Holidays and Special (Non-Working) Days for the Year 2024, six of them coincide with weekends.

Accordingly, April 6 and 7 are Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The Valor Day celebration on April 9 falls on a Tuesday. Meanwhile, Eid al-Fitr 2024 is on April 10, Wednesday, as per the Islamic Calendar. However, please note that April 10 as a holiday is still subject to change.

Ultimately, Monday, April 8, is not a regular April holiday. However, Filipinos await any last-minute announcements from the Philippine Official Gazette. This culture stems from President Marcos’ sudden announcement of additional holidays in prior months, leading citizens to anticipate more long weekends in 2024.

Hence, below is the list of the aforementioned week (April 6 to 10 holiday), providing an extended weekend for everyone.

• April 6 (Saturday) – Weekend
• April 7 (Sunday) – Weekend
• April 8 (Monday) – File a Leave
• April 9 (Tuesday) – Araw ng Kagitingan / Day of Valor
• April 10 (Wednesday)  – Eid al-Fitr 2024 (Subject to change)
