July 29, 2014 Observance of Eid’l Fitr (Feast of Ramadan)

Huray for another Holiday!

Malacañang has declared July 29 this year as a national holiday in observance of Eid'l Fitr.

The declaration was made by President Benigno Aquino III through Proclamation No. 826. The proclamation, dated July 10, was signed by Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr.

"To promote cultural understanding and integration, the entire Filipino nation should have the full opportunity to join their Muslim brothers and sisters in the observance and celebration of Eid'l Fitr," the proclamation read.

Eid'l Fitr, the end of Ramadhan fasting, was declared a holiday to "bring religious and cultural significance" to the Muslim celebration, Malacañang added.

Eid'l Fitr is celebrated by the Muslim world for three days after the end of the month of fasting.

Republic Act 9177 mandates the government to declare this Muslim celebration a national holiday.

The observance of Eid'l Fitr this year will fall a day after Aquino delivers his fifth State of the Nation Address before Congress on July 28.

Have a happy holiday everyone!
