President Gloria Arroyo has signed into law, Republic Act 9849 or the Act Declaring the Tenth day of Zhul Hijja, the Twelfth Month of the Islamic Calendar, a National Holiday for the observance of “Eid’l Adha” or feast of Sacrifice. This means that beginning this year, the whole country will observe the holiday on November 27-28.
Last year, the president declared “Eid’l Adha” as a special non-working holiday limited only to the ARMM or Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. Eid’l Adha is one of Islam’s two major festivals celebrated by 1.6 billion Muslims around the world
