Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year follows the lunar calendar, so its date changes each year. In the Philippines, it recognizes the cultural importance of Filipino-Chinese communities and the wider influence of lunar new year traditions in business districts, families, schools, and city celebrations.

For many users, this holiday is both cultural and practical: it can create a midweek pause or a leave-planning opportunity depending on the date. Familiar observances include family meals, red decorations, tikoy, dragon dances, and greetings centered on prosperity, good health, and a clean start for the year.
