Long Weekend comes October 26, 2012 (Eid'l Adha)

Filipinos would have another long weekend as President Aquino signed Proclamation No. 488 making October 26, 2012 (Friday) a holiday in celebration of Eid'l Adha.

Eidul Adha or the Feast of Sacrifice is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims across the globe to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Isma'il as an act of obedience to God.
