MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Malacañang has declared June 28 a regular holiday throughout the country.

A regular holiday means workers take a break but will still be paid for the day, unless they choose or are asked to report for work in which case they get double pay (200%).

The Philippines is among countries that have too many holidays — regular and special, working and non-working. Filipinos even get to enjoy a holiday they can’t pronounce — like the June 28 regular holiday of Eid’l Adha.

Eid’l Adha is also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, marking the end of hajj, a key pillar of Islam that able-bodied Muslims must undertake at least once in their lives.

So, in the interest of public service, The Adobo Chronicles is posting this short video clip on how to pronounce Eid’l Adha.

Eid Mubarak (A Blessed Feast to all)!
