However, for those in the designated areas, this long weekend offers an opportunity to rest, relax, and spend time with loved ones. If you're looking for ways to make the most of your free time, consider exploring local attractions, trying new restaurants, or simply enjoying some much needed downtime at home.
In Tiaong, Quezon, the holiday on February 8 will also commemorate the birth anniversary of former senator Claro M. Recto, as declared by Malacañang. Whether you're celebrating a holiday or simply taking advantage of a long weekend, make sure to take care of yourself and those around you.
Happy long weekend!
