Another long weekend in the Philippines is coming up! Yesterday, President Benigno Aquino signed Proclamation No. 488, s. 2012, DECLARING FRIDAY, 26 OCTOBER 2012, AS A REGULAR HOLIDAY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, IN OBSERVANCE OF EIDUL ADHA (FEAST OF SACRIFICE).
Celebrated after the Hajj or the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, Eid-Ul-Adha is one of the two greatest feasts of Islam. It commemorates the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God.
