(Thanks, Gary, for the info...)

GMA signs new Balikbayan law, 4 other bills
"The President also signed Republic Act No. 9177, declaring the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic Calendar, as a national holiday for the observance of Eidul Fitr; and the tenth day of Zhul Hijja, the twelfth month of the Islamic Calendar, as a regional holiday in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) for the observance of Eidul Dha."

That's why I updated the page on Philippine Holidays.

This year, Eid-al-Fitr falls on December 6 (Friday). Wow, long weekend! :-)

Anyway, a couple of my submissions were accepted: [more]
