Philippine holidays, as the academy actually observes them

Philippine holidays are proclaimed year by year, and the academy sometimes moves a day off — a Thursday holiday observed on Friday, or an ad-hoc local holiday added mid-term. This table is fed straight from our internal calendar, so what you see here is what actually happens on campus.

On these holidays and on weekends there are no classes and no dorm meal service. Regular weekday service is three meals a day.

“Regular” and “special non-working” are the two legal categories of Philippine holidays. For students the effect is the same — no classes either way.
