President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has declared April 1st 2025 as a regular holiday to mark Eid’l Fitr or the Feast of Ramadan.
In Proclamation No. 839, Marcos cited Republic Act No. 9177, amending Section 26, Chapter 7, Book I of Executive Order No. 292, which declared Eid’l For a regular holiday throughout the country.
He also mentioned the recommendation of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos to declare either March 31st 2025 or April 1st 2025 as a national holiday.
“In order to bring the religious and cultural significance of the Eid’l Fitr to the fore of national consciousness and to allow the entire Filipino nation to join their Muslim brothers and sisters in peace and harmony in the observance and celebration of Eid’l Fitr, it is necessary to declare April 1, 2025, Tuesday, a regular holiday throughout the country,” Marcos said.
For Muslims, Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. It’s a joyful holiday when the faithful celebrate the completion of 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting.
