I have just received a copy of the presidential declaration making November 27 and 28, the days for the muslim festival Eid'l Adha, national holidays.
Although there is no direct wording saying that these days are to be non-working holidays, the decree compares it as a holiday similar to Christmas, Easter and All Saint's Day Catholic holidays. It may be safe to assume that these will be non-working holidays, just like Eid'l Fit'r.
Together with Bonifacio Day on november 30, that gives the entire country 4 days off. Luckily, this announcement was released early, and there is enough time for people to prepare their schedules to make use of the extra long vacation.
