President Benigno Aquino III has declared September 25 (Friday) a regular holiday throughout the country in observance of Eid’l Adha.
Proclamation No. 1128 was signed by Aquino last Tuesday (September 15).
Eid’l Adha or the Feast of Sacrifice is one of the two most significant feasts of Islam.
Eid'l Adha was earlier recommended to be observed on the 24th, but the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) proposed that it instead be commemorated on the 25th based on the Islamic Calendar and the declaration made by Saudi Arabia’s highest religious authority.
