President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has declared the list of regular and non-working holidays for 2023 covering seven long weekends, according to an issuance released Tuesday.

Unlike this year, Nov. 2 (All Souls' Day), and Dec. 31 (Last Day of the Year) are classified as special non-working holidays next year, Proclamation No. 42 issued by Executive Secretary Vic Rodriguez showed.
