Had Enough Holidays? August 21 and 26 are also Holidays!

Most will really love this month! Not for the rainy season but because of the three national holidays being celebrated during the month of August. The first one, Eid'l Fitr will be celebrated this coming Friday. That holiday though is movable because it was based on Islamic lunar calendar. This year, it fell on August 9. Next year though, it would be around July 30.

August 21, 2013 Holiday

The second holiday is on August 21, also known as Ninoy Aquino Day. This is an annual observance of the death of former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. Yes, he is the father of President Benigno "Pnoy" Aquino III. His assassination in 1983 is considered to be the trigger point that leads to 1986 EDSA Revolution. The revolution forced the end of the dictatorial regime of then President Ferdinand Marcos.

The holiday was created and signed into law in 2004 via Republic Act 9256. It is a special non-working holiday throughout the country.

The third holiday is on August 26. It is called the National Heroes Day. It is being celebrated every last Monday of August. The purpose of the holiday is to commemorate all heroes in the Philippine history. The holiday also celebrates the Cry of Pugad Lawin which marks the start of the Philippine Revolution in 1896.
