Meanwhile, the EDSA People Power Revolution Anniversary on Feb. 25, which falls on a Tuesday, is a special working day.
On the other hand, the proclamations declaring national holidays for the observance of Eid'l Fitr and Eid'l Adha will be issued after the approximate dates of the Islamic holidays have been determined following the Islamic calendar (Hijra) or the lunar calendar, or upon Islamic astronomical calculations, whichever is applicable.
The National Commission on Muslim Filipinos will recommend to the President the actual dates these holidays will fall.
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.
