Marcos Jr. first declared February 25 itself a special non-working holiday for the first People Power anniversary under his presidency. EDSA37
MANILA, Philippines – Citing “holiday economics,” President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. declared Friday, February 24, a special non-working day to commemorate the anniversary of a revolution that booted his father and namesake from Malacañang after decades in power.
The proclamation was signed by noon on Thursday, February 23, according to sources, but released to the media a quarter before 7 pm. While the People Power Revolution Anniversary is not codified as a holiday in the Philippines, it is almost always declared a special non-working day by every president in the post-EDSA era.
