Snap Facts : Eid ul-Fitr, known to the Christian majority and other non-Muslims as "Wakás ng Ramadán" ("End of Ramadan") or incorrectly as "Ramadan", has been recognised by the Filipino Government as a regular holiday by virtue of Republic Act No. 9177, signed into law on November 13, 2002. The law was enacted in deference to the Muslim-Filipino community and to promote peace among major religions in the Philippines. The first national commemoration of Eid ul-Fitr was on December 6, 2002, marked by prayers and celebrations by the Muslim community.
In observance of the Eid'l Fitr in the Philippines, we all enjoy another long weekend, having today as a non-working holiday.
Three weeks ago, I had the chance to have my first visit to Cotabato. Covered by the Ramadan, I was able to personally witness their sunlight fasting which ended around 6pm when the sun was about to rest. I heard a religious music being played around the whole town which seemed to be an announcement that the fasting for the day ended. Only to resume the next dawn of the day.
I saw a lot of beautiful mosque-s in this province. Here are some of those :
