Holy Week 2024: Work Schedules and Easter Celebrations in the Philippines

Good Friday - Government Offices - Holy Week - Makati City - Maundy Thursday - Metro Manila - Philippines - Private Sector - Restaurant Openings - Traffic Advisory

Discover the work schedules for government and private offices during Holy Week 2024, along with a glimpse into historical events in 1521 that marked the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan in the Philippines!

Holy Week is approaching in the Philippines, bringing with it changes in work schedules for government and private offices. Malacañang declared a half-day work for government offices on Holy Wednesday, allowing state workers to fully observe Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. This decision aims to provide employees with the opportunity to participate in Holy Week traditions and spend time with their families.

While government offices prepare for the reduced work hours on Holy Wednesday, some restaurants in Metro Manila have announced that they will remain open throughout Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Black Saturday, and Easter Sunday. This provides residents and visitors with dining options during the Easter celebrations, offering a blend of traditional and modern cuisines to enjoy.

In addition to the work adjustments and dining options, let's take a trip back to the year 1521. This historical year marked the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan in the Philippines, laying the foundation for future events that would shape the country's history. Magellan's expedition is a significant milestone that eventually led to the Philippines' rich cultural heritage and diverse traditions.

As Holy Week approaches and the Philippines gears up for Easter celebrations, the year 1521 remains a pivotal moment in history that continues to influence the country's identity and development. Whether observing work schedules, enjoying meals at open restaurants, or reflecting on historical events, the Filipino community embraces the spirit of tradition and celebration during this special time of the year.
