Last year, the EDSA People Power Revolution Anniversary was not included in the list of official holidays because it fell on a Sunday.
Marcos also issued Proclamation No. 167, which moved the February 25 holiday to "enable our countrymen to avail themselves of the benefits of a longer weekend pursuant to the principle of holiday economics... provided that the historical significance of the EDSA People Power Revolution Anniversary is maintained."
The observance of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha for the Muslim community will be announced as determined according to the Islamic (Hijri) calendar or lunar calendar, or through Islamic astronomical calculations.
