“The proclamations declaring national holidays for the observance of Eidul Fitr and Eidul Adha will be issued after the approximate dates of the Islamic holidays have been determined in accordance with the Islamic calendar (Hijra) or the lunar calendar, or upon Islamic astronomical calculations, whichever is applicable,” the Presidential Communications Office said in a statement.
It added that the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos would advise Marcos on the specific dates for these holidays.
“The proclamation has tasked the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to issue the implementing guidelines for the proclamation, which is expected to take effect immediately,” the statement also said.
