PDU30 declares Eid'l Adha on July 20,  regular holiday

By Nidz Godino

"Observance of Eid'l Adha shall be subject to existing community quarantine and social distancing measures," Malacañang has declared July 20 as  regular holiday throughout the country to mark  Muslim feast of Eid'l Adha. 

President Rodrigo Duterte approved Proclamation 1189 allowing for the move, through Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea. 

Eid'l Adha, known as "Feast of Sacrifice," is among the two Islamic holidays celebrated across the world every year.

It marks the end of the annual pilgrimage or hajj to the city of Mecca, in remembrance of prophet Ibrahim's readiness to sacrifice his son to Allah.

Employees who would report to work on regular holidays are to be paid 200% of their daily wage rate in the first eight hours.

Workers must receive an additional 30% of their hourly rate that day for work rendered in excess of eight hours or overtime.

Those who will not show up at work on regular holidays will still receive 100% of their rate. 

Further, employees who work on a regular holiday that falls on their rest day will be paid an additional 30% on top of the double pay.
