Two long weekends this August !!!!

The nation will enjoy two “long weekends” this month based on the law rationalizing national holidays or what is more commonly known as holiday economics.

Proclamation No. 1463, issued by the President earlier this year, set the specific dates of holidays for the year as mandated by Republic Act 9492 or the law rationalizing national holidays.

For this month, Ninoy Aquino Day would be moved to Aug. 18 from Aug. 21 while National Heroes’ Day, which historically falls on Aug. 31, will be celebrated on Aug. 25.

R.A. 9492 provides that holidays, except those which are religious in nature, are moved to the nearest Monday unless otherwise modified by law, order or proclamation.  - Marvin Sy

It is the center of trade, arts, education and business in the southernpart of the Philippines.

The bustling metropolis has evolved into one of the region's economic hubs, attracting both local and foreign investors to its inherent opportunities.

Home to export-oriented industries like furniture, decors, electronics, machineries, and food among others. Only an hour's flight fromManila, the capital, there are also direct flights from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. It is also a jump-off point forvisitors traveling to other islands in the Visayas and Mindanao.

Simply put, Cebu is a perfect tourist hideaway where one can experience the sights and sounds of a rich and colorful island paradise in the pacific.

About Cebu

Cebu and Mactan are rich in historical significance. From around 800 AD Cebu harbor was already an important trading port for Chinese, Islamic, and Malayan goods. In 1521, Ferdinand Magellan discovered the Philippines and eventually found his way to Mactan. Due to a dispute of uncertain nature, the Spaniards incurred the ire of local chieftain Lapu-lapu,who killed Magellan in The Battle of Mactan - arguably the first case of an Asian fighting European invaders. Thus, although the Magellan Expedition is credited with the first circumnavigation of the globe, Magellan the man died and remained in Mactan.
