Declaring December 26, 1983 and January 2, 1984 as Special Non-Working Public Holidays
Proclamation No. 2327, issued on December 23, 1983, by President Ferdinand E. Marcos, declares December 26, 1983, and January 2, 1984, as special non-working public holidays. This decision arises from the fact that Christmas Day and New Year's Day both fall on a Sunday, and in accordance with LOI No. 1087, a proclamation is required to observe the following Monday as a holiday. The proclamation aims to allow people to fully celebrate the Christmas holidays with their families, particularly those traveling to the provinces. The declaration emphasizes the importance of public service while granting this time off.
