The President on Sept. 11 issued Proclamation No. 680, declaring Sept. 20, 2024, a special nonworking day in Dingras, in honor of Josefa Llanes-Escoda, a World War II heroine and the founder of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines.

Dingras commemorates the birth of Llanes-Escoda on Sept. 20, 1898.

The proclamation, signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, said it is fitting and proper that the people of Dingras municipality “be given full opportunity to participate in the occasion and enjoy the celebration.”

Marcos made a similar issuance for Mountain Province. Under Proclamation No. 682, Oct. 4, 2024, is a special nonworking day to mark the celebration of the Provincial Indigenous People’s Day.

It will also be a special nonworking day on Oct. 7, 2024, in Guipos, Zamboanga del Sur, and on Oct. 23, 2024, in Narvacan, Ilocos Sur, through the issuance of Proclamation Nos. 683 and 684, respectively.

Zamboanga del Sur marks the celebration of the 33rd Araw ng Guipos, while Narvacan celebrates the Aldaw Ti Wayawaya-lli A Narvacan.

Marcos issued Proclamation No. 685, declaring Oct. 24, 2024, a special nonworking day in Pili, Camarines Sur, in celebration of the Cimarrones Festival. The proclamation aims to let the people of Pili participate in the occasion and enjoy the celebration.
