Likewise, R.A. 9177 also declared Eid’l Fitr (Feast of Ramadhan) as a regular holiday throughout the country.

Under Proclamation No. 1236, the proclamation declaring national holidays for the observance of Eid’l Fitr shall 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 possible or convenient. To such end, the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) is tasked to inform the Office of the President of the actual dates on which these holidays shall respectively fall.

Hence, on 18 April 2022 the NCMF recommended 3 May 2022 to be declared as a national holiday in observance and celebration of the Eid’l Fitr.
