President Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III declared Friday, Sept. 10, as a regular holiday throughout the country in observance of Eid'ul Fitr or the Feast of Ramadan.
Citing Proclamation No. 26, the President said that since the main date for the celebration of Eid’l Fitr for 2010 falls on Sept. 10, the entire Filipino nation “should have the full opportunity to join their Muslim brothers and sisters in observing and celebrating Eid’l Fitr”. Furthermore, the declaration of the said holiday will “bring the religious and cultural significance of the Eid’l Fitr to the fore of national consciousness”.
The proclamation is based from Republic Act 9177, which declared the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar, a national holiday for the observance of Eidul Fitr.
Eid’l Fitr is the festival when the Muslims end their holy month of fasting or Ramadan. This year, Ramadan began on August 11 and will end this Friday. The Office of Muslim Affairs supervises the declaration of this holiday based on the Islamic calendar (Hijra) or the lunar calendar, or upon Islamic astronomical calculations.
