List of Philippine Holidays for 2016

I always love the official infographics released by the government, but I haven't found the official one for 2016 yet.

Not included in the list, though are the 2 nationwide muslim holidays. As of this time, we may expect them around these dates:

Eid'l Fit'r - July 8, 2016
