Holiday breaks
Bonifacio Day break: a short trip from Manila
Proclamation No. 1006 lists Monday 30 November 2026 as Bonifacio Day, a regular holiday. Saturday to Monday, 28–30 November, is a three-day option only if your weekend is also free. It is not a school vacation, and other leave is not guaranteed. Manila is the example departure; other Philippine cities are in the tool.

What to weigh
- Three days is short. The tool compares cost only; it does not check whether a destination is near, direct or a short flight. Check the travel time yourself before using a short break.
- Check your own work schedule for the weekend.
- The budget is an editable illustration in local currency, not a typical or recommended amount.
Questions
- Is this a school vacation?
- No. It is a regular public holiday.
- Are the destinations shown close enough for a short trip?
- Not necessarily. They are ranked on modelled cost only; travel time is not verified. Check the flight time yourself.
- Are these live prices?
- No. They are modelled whole-trip estimates for the example inputs shown. Change the departure city, days, budget or party to recalculate.
