President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has issued proclamations declaring special non-working days in several parts of the country, allowing residents to fully participate in local celebrations and commemorations.
Under Proclamation No. 1207, President Marcos declared April 20, Monday, as a special non-working day in the City of Tarlac to mark its 28th Charter Anniversary.
The occasion is originally celebrated on April 19, which falls on a Sunday this year. However, the proclamation stated that the local government requested that the celebration be moved to Monday to give the people of the City of Tarlac a full opportunity to participate in the occasion and enjoy the festivities.
The President likewise issued Proclamation No. 1208, declaring April 20 a special non-working day in the Municipality of Alfonso Castañeda, Nueva Vizcaya, for its founding anniversary.
Furthermore, the Chief Executive issued Proclamation No. 1209, declaring April 23, Thursday, a special non-working day in the Municipality of Plaridel, Bulacan.

Lastly, Proclamation No. 1211 declared April 25, Saturday, a special non-working day in the Province of Nueva Ecija to celebrate its founding anniversary.
