SubscribeMANILA -- President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo amended Proclamation 1808 declaring November 27 and 28 as national holiday for the celebration of Eid’l Adha.
Under Proclamation 1808-A, Eid’l Adha will no longer be a national holiday but a regional holiday in Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Armm).
The celebration of Eid’l Adha is supposed to be the second long weekend this month after the back-to-back celebration of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, Sunday and Monday, respectively.
President Arroyo earlier declared Eid’l Adha as a national holiday since it is one of the greatest feasts of Islam.
Press Secretary Cerge Remonde over a radio interview apologized to those affected by the changes in the proclamation, saying that the government only considered the situation of the country today.
Remonde said that some concerned sectors appealed for the amendment of 1808 due to the disasters that hit Luzon including Metro Manila.
He said two long weekends will have an effect in the productivity of the country. (Jill Beltran/Sunnex)

Hindi naman bagay kasi ang
Hindi naman bagay kasi ang Pilipinas is a Catholic country, nag-migrate lang yong mga Muslims from neighboring countries; so hindi dapat i-national holiday. Tama na yong sa mga Muslim places, di ba. Dahil ni Gloria may marami nang Muslims lalo na sa Cebu. May dugo or parents ba si Gloria na Muslim? Bakit very close siya sa mga Muslims. No, am not racist ha; kasi siya ang nagdeclare dyan sa mga holiday ng mga Muslims.
