Marcos: June 6, 2025 a regular holiday for Eid'l Adha

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has declared June 6, 2025 a regular holiday throughout the country in observance of Eid'l Adha or the Feast of Sacrifice.

Marcos signed Proclamation No. 911 on May 21.

''Following the 1446 Hijrah Islamic Lunar Calendar, the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos has recommended that June 6, 2025, Friday, be declared a national holiday, in observance of Eid'l Adha,'' the proclamation read. 

Eid'l Adha is one of the two important holidays in the Muslim calendar, the other being Eid'l Fitr, which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.

During Eid'l Adha, Muslims slaughter sheep, goats, cows, and camels to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son on Allah's command. — VBL, GMA Integrated News
