Happy Eid al-Adha 2021

Talisay City Mayor Neil Lizares Eid al-Adha 2021

In the Philippines, Republic Act (RA) 9849 signed in 2009 says the tenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah or the twelfth month of the Islamic Calendar, is hereby declared as a national holiday for the observance of Eidul Adha.

Eid al-Adha is an Islamic festival to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim (also known as Abraham) to follow Allah's (God's) command to sacrifice his son. Muslims around the world observe this event.

Therefore, Eid al-Adha is a commemoration of both father and son for their example of obedience and submission to the divine will.
