message: This article has a reader utility problem, and has had for a long time, if a reader looks at the article seeking an answer to the question "What is the celebration date for [holiday X]?". An example: the current version of this article gives the date of Chinese New Year as "February 05 2019". Actually, I don't think that the 2019 holiday celebration dates for the Philippines have yet been fixed;  fixed the celebration date for 2017 as 28 January  fixed the celebration date for 2018 as 16 February . 
With "Holiday Economics" moving the celebration dates for most holidays celebrating fixed date events to nearby weekends, this sort of a problem exists for most regular holiday and special day dates.; the celebration dates change year-by-year
I suggest changing the table format for the Regular holidays and Special Non-working Days tables to something like:
2017 DATE 	201B DATE   	ANGLICIZED NAME 	FILIPINO NAME           	TRANSFERABILITY	DESCRIPTION
January 28	February  16	Chinese New Year	Bagong Taon ng mga Tsino	Movable        	Also known as the Spring Festival or Lunar New Year.
etc.      	etc.        	etc.            	etc.                    	etc.           	etc.
This example would have been more meaningful if the proclamation fixing the 2019 dates had already been issued. When it is issued, however, the 2017 info can be easily deleted and the 2019 info added. 
I believe that there is a second problem with these tables which is not addressed by the above example; "Holiday Economics" seems to have made the concept of fixed vs. movable date transferability meaningless. Perhaps that should be discussed here. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 05:20, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Holiday celebration dates 

message: As stated in the section above, there are issues with some of the holidays. I've been able to source the enacting laws of most nationwide holidays (interestingly, some are not based on law but are only done via annual presidential proclamations -- interesting!), but we'd need some for local holidays and "working holidays". Now, these "working holidays" must be based on some law; I was able to find some for a handful of these. For local holidays, like nationwide ones, these can either be regular or special, and our basis shall be the laws that created these. The local holidays should also have a column for the places where the holiday are observed. The Bank of the Philippine Islands' Twitter account has notices on where and when they are closed, so you could cross-reference that to the law that is stated on the tweet.
There are also one-off holidays. The most famous ones in recent memory are June 19, 2011 for the sesquicentenary of Jose Rizal's berth, and July 27, 2014 for the centenary of Iglesia ni Cristo's founding, and one could argue they should be listed here.
Now if those are not based on legislative or executive fiat, those should be deleted. Howard the Duck (talk) 18:56, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
