As the year comes to a close, Filipinos across the nation can look forward to an additional day of rest and reflection. President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has officially declared December 31, 2024, as a special non-working holiday through Proclamation No. 368. This move grants Filipinos the opportunity to take a break from their daily routines, prepare for New Year’s Eve celebrations, and spend quality time with their families.
For many, December 31 is not just the end of the year; it is a time for renewed hope, anticipation, and a deep sense of gratitude for the year that has passed. By declaring this day a special non-working holiday, the government acknowledges the significance of the occasion and the importance of spending this time with loved ones. The holiday also encourages everyone to celebrate responsibly, ensuring the safety and well-being of all as they usher in the New Year.
This year, December 31 falls on a Tuesday, which means the long weekend that results is expected to boost domestic tourism and community activities. Many families are likely to take advantage of this extra time off to travel, gather together, or simply unwind and prepare for the festivities. Whether planning to visit family in nearby provinces or spending a peaceful day at home, the extended weekend provides ample time for Filipinos to enjoy quality moments with those closest to them.
In previous years, the declaration of December 31 as a special non-working holiday has been met with widespread enthusiasm. It gives Filipinos a chance to pause and reflect before the beginning of a new year. During this time, many people take part in various cultural traditions, including cleaning their homes to welcome positive energy, attending Mass to pray for the coming year, and gathering for “media noche,” a festive midnight meal believed to bring prosperity and good fortune for the year ahead.
In addition to its cultural significance, December 31 also serves as a time for individuals to set resolutions and goals, both personally and professionally. This moment of transition between the old and the new holds great emotional and symbolic meaning, which is why the government has deemed it important to allow citizens the time to properly mark the occasion.
At Light of Love Events Place, we believe in the importance of family and celebration. In light of the government’s declaration, we would like to inform our valued clients that we will be closed on December 31, 2024.
