MANILA, Philippines – Filipinos can look forward to another long weekend, as Malacañang has declared September 25, which falls on a Friday, as a regular holiday throughout the country in observance of Eid’l Adha or the Feast of the Sacrifice.
President Benigno Aquino III signed Proclamation No. 1128 on Tuesday, September 15.
In issuing Proclamation 1128, the President cited Republic Act No. 9849 which provides that Eid’l Adha, one of the two greatest feasts of Islam, shall be celebrated as a regular holiday.
“The National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) recommends that the observance of Eid’l Adha In the Philippines be on 25 September 2015 based on the Islamic Calendar and the declaration made by Saudi Arabia’s highest religious authority, thereby amending its recommendation to observe the occasion on 24 September 2015,” Aquino said. – Rappler.com
