Philippine Independence Day

Start:     Jun 12, '12
Location:     Philippines
The Philippines will be marking its 114th Independence Day celebration this June 12, which falls on a Tuesday.

Some peeps are asking if President Benigno Aquino III will move this holiday to June 11 to create another three-day weekend for Filipino workers, and as of posting time, no announcement has been made.
