Coming from a long happy holiday, everyone is already asking when is the next one?
Here is a list of Philippine Holidays for 2013. I have noted long weekends at the bottom of the post. I counted 4 plus 3 that might turn into a long weekend. The Muslim holidays are still not included.
Words of wisdom: Book Early!:-)

*EDSA Revolution - Special Holiday for Schools only.
*Araw ng Kagitingan is not yet an official long weekend. Crossing my fingers that Pres. Aquino will move Araw ng Kagitingan celebration to a Monday since it falls on a Tuesday. This has happened in the past for sandwich holidays and hopefully will happen again 2013:-)
***Bonifacio Day falls on a Saturday. Hopefully schools will declare the following Monday after it a holiday.
