NomNom Club deliciously welcomes the new year of 2011! With the Filipinos’ festive spirit that is inclined to celebrate every occasion there is – be it a birthday, anniversary, fiesta, or even a simple Philippine Holiday – we find it fitting to share this year’s calendar of Philippine Holidays 2011 to our readers.
Moreover, a Filipino celebration is never complete without a feast. From a single dish and softdrink (soda) shared by the family to as much as filling the whole dining table with food; even inviting the closest neighbors or the whole neighborhood. NomNom Club itself never run out of occasions to celebrate. We had NomNom Club 1st Anniversary with Greenwich, Thanksgiving Party with Angel’s, and a Christmas Party with Kraft Eden. What a 2010 that was! 🙂
Perhaps we’ll come up with a list of Philippine Festivals / Philippine Fiestas soon as well. 🙂

Holidays for Eid’l Fitr and Eid’l Adha are yet to be announced due to its nature. I hope October 31, 2011 (the Monday before November 1) and Decemebr 24, 2011 would also have been made a holiday since it is sandwiched between weekends and major holidays.
