Proclamation No. 90 amends the holiday schedule for 2023 in the Philippines, including the addition of an extra non-working day on January 2 and the shifting of Araw ng Kagitingan to April 10 to create longer weekends for domestic travel and family time.

Purpose and Occasion for Declaration

The day marks the Feast Day of Saint Paul, the First Hermit, who is the patron saint of San Pablo City.
It coincides with the 16th Coconut Festival and Street Dancing Competition (Mardi Gras) held in the city.
The declaration aims to provide residents the opportunity to celebrate these events with appropriate ceremonies.

Authority and Effectivity

The proclamation was issued by the Executive Secretary, Paquito N. Ochoa Jr., under the authority of the President of the Philippines, Benigno S. Aquino III.
The declaration was made official by affixing the seal of the Republic of the Philippines and the signatures of the Executive Secretary and Senior Deputy Executive Secretary.
The effective date of the non-working day is January 15, 2011.

Legal Implications

Being a "special (non-working) day," the day is not a regular public holiday but recognized for special observance.
Employers have discretion regarding work arrangements, but the declaration encourages rest and participation in cultural and religious activities.
The proclamation supports cultural preservation and community engagement within San Pablo City.
