August 2025 Holidays Announced: Two Long Weekend Breaks
August 2025 holidays will offer Filipinos two well-timed breaks this year. The August 2025 holidays promise moments of reflection and celebration, with two significant dates marked as special and regular holidays.
The first of the August 2025 holidays is Ninoy Aquino Day, observed on Thursday, August 21. This day honors the 42nd anniversary of the assassination of Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., a pivotal figure in Philippine history. Recognized as a special non-working holiday, it invites Filipinos to remember his sacrifice for democracy and freedom.
National Heroes Day: Honoring Filipino Bravery
The second holiday falls on Monday, August 25 — National Heroes Day. This regular holiday pays tribute to the courage and sacrifices of all Filipino heroes who faced death or persecution for the nation’s cause. It celebrates the collective bravery of Filipinos who stood for justice, freedom, and country.
Both August 2025 holidays were officially declared under Proclamation No. 727, signed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on October 30, 2024. Local leaders and communities across the country are preparing to commemorate these dates with various activities and remembrance ceremonies.
With these August 2025 holidays, many will enjoy extended weekends perfect for family time, reflection, and honoring the nation’s rich history. Whether through quiet remembrance or festive events, these days remind Filipinos of the values that continue to shape the country.
