MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Education (DepEd) announced on Monday, August 4, at least 18 regular holidays, special non-working holidays, and special holidays for all schools for the 2015.

The scheduled was based on Presidential Proclamation 831, which was issued by Malacañang in July to announce the 2015 nationwide holidays.

Education Secretary Armin Luistro asked DepEd offices and schools, both public and private, to incorporate these dates in planning their academic calendars “to ensure that we are proactive in delivering the education agenda.”
