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

The declaration was made through Proclamation 911 signed by the Executive Secretary on May 21.

According to the proclamation, the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos has recommended that June 6, 2025 be declared a national holiday, in observance of Eid’l Adha, following the 1446 Hijrah Islamic Lunar Calendar.

The proclamation also cited that “Republic Act No. 9849 declared the tenth day of Zhul Hijja, the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar, a national holiday for the observance of Eid’l Adha, with a movable date.”

Eid al-Adha is the second of the two major holidays in the Islamic tradition (the other being Eid al-Fitr) that remembers the obedience of Prophet Abraham after he was commanded by Allah to sacrifice his son, Ismail.
