Get Planning: All The Public Holidays And Long Weekends In 2021
Book in those leaves people, here’s a list of all the public holidays and long weekends for 2021!
Although we aren’t allowed to travel as freely as we used to (Covid-19, we’re looking at you!), driving and flying to nearby destinations (LGU permitting, of course) is A-OK. If going far away isn’t your thing, staycations in hotels around the metro are allowed too. Of course, safety should always be top of mind but once everything’s in order, why not relax by the pool or the beach with a chilled beverage?
