Extended data:

The Philippines officially entered the "Holy Week" legal holiday. Because religious ceremonies and festivals are very intensive from Thursday to Sunday, it is stipulated that Holy Thursday and Holy Friday are legal holidays, and the next Saturday and Sunday have also become a four-day "small holiday". During the long holiday, the business hours of most businesses will be adjusted or suspended accordingly.

Many governments and public service departments will also have holidays accordingly. It may cause a little inconvenience, so let's seize the last few hours to prepare early today.

Another thing to note is that many restaurants don't sell wine and meat during the fasting on holy Friday, and even many restaurants are closed because of people's fasting. But don't worry about getting hungry. During the holy week, there are always restaurants that open as usual, and some adjust or shorten their business hours.

The summer vacation of most schools in the Philippines usually starts from Holy Week to the end of May. This is also the traditional festival time. In this holiday comparable to China's "summer vacation", many families will take their children out for a holiday. Filipinos can be seen rushing to various islands and tourist attractions with their families.
