MANILA, Philippines — Walong long weekends ang nakaabang sa mga Pilipino para sa taong 2015 matapos ilabas ng Malacañang ngayong Miyerkules ang listahan ng mga holidays para sa susunod na taon.
Nilagdaan ni Pangulong Benigno Aquino III ang Proclamation No. 831, kung saan mayroong 18 holidays.
Kabilang sa mga holiday ang Chinese New Year sa Pebrero 19 na hindi lamang sa Tsina ipinagdiriwang ngunit pati rito sa Pilipinas, ayon kay Aquino.
"The joint celebration is a manifestation of our solidarity with our Chinese-Filipino brethren who have been part of our lives in many respects as a country and as a people; 19 February 2015 may be declared as a special (non-working) day without detriment to public interest.”
