Bridge-day pressure

This page keeps the date answer separate from statutory verification. The catalog supplies the tracked date rows; the checkpoints below show which authority, story profile, local specificity, and dossier layer should be reviewed when the holiday affects bookings, payroll, travel, or public-service hours.
Country authority checkpoint
Official Gazette holiday proclamations; Philippines regular and special non-working holiday notices
Story and rule checkpoint
lunar holiday profile: The end-of-Ramadan holiday marks a transition from fasting to communal celebration, charity, and shared meals, which gives it both spiritual and logistical importance.
Local specificity checkpoint
The Philippines lists Eid al-Fitr as Feast of Ramadhan, with national observance shaped by official proclamation and by Muslim communities especially in Mindanao. For the Philippines, the key issue is the officially proclaimed date, regional community observance, school and office closure announcements, and whether the final moon-sighting shifts the expected day.
Dossier checkpoint
feast-of-ramadhan and hari-raya-puasa are two slugs for the same underlying festival (Eid al-Fitr / 1 Shawwal) — the Philippines uses 'Feast of Ramadhan' in proclamation language while Singapore and Malaysia use the Malay 'Hari Raya Puasa.' Both fall on the same lunar date but national observance modes differ markedly. Eid al-Adha (the Philippines' separate 'Eidul Adha' holiday) follows roughly 70 days later on 10 Dhul Hijjah. Source citations are rendered in the holiday-specific dossier.
Reference stack
This block separates the local Philippines holiday answer from two common sources of programmatic-calendar confusion: countries that use the same holiday name on different dates, and future rows that are projected from a rule rather than directly tracked.
Cross-border date spread
Feast of Ramadhan is currently anchored to Philippines in the observed-country dataset, so cross-border date drift is not a major concern on this page.
Projection reliability
Feast of Ramadhan stays inside the tracked catalog window for forward dates because its lunar / lunisolar rule is not safely extrapolated here. Source posture: 3 curated source citations attached.

Differentiates from neighbors
feast-of-ramadhan and hari-raya-puasa are two slugs for the same underlying festival (Eid al-Fitr / 1 Shawwal) — the Philippines uses 'Feast of Ramadhan' in proclamation language while Singapore and Malaysia use the Malay 'Hari Raya Puasa.' Both fall on the same lunar date but national observance modes differ markedly. Eid al-Adha (the Philippines' separate 'Eidul Adha' holiday) follows roughly 70 days later on 10 Dhul Hijjah.
Religious / civic / cultural context
Eid al-Fitr ('Feast of the Breaking of the Fast') marks the end of Ramadan's dawn-to-dusk fast and is one of the two canonical Islamic festivals. The Philippines is one of very few non-Muslim-majority states to grant it national regular-holiday status, doing so via Republic Act 9177 signed in 2002 by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The law was a deliberate gesture of inclusion toward the country's roughly 6% Muslim minority concentrated in Mindanao, framed by the NCMF as bringing 'the religious and cultural significance of Eid'l Fitr to the fore of national consciousness.'
Date rule
Falls on 1 Shawwal in the Islamic Hijri (lunar) calendar, marking the end of Ramadan and moving approximately 11 days earlier each Gregorian year. In the Philippines the exact date is fixed annually by Presidential Proclamation on the recommendation of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF), which follows the Bangsamoro lunar observation; for 2026 it was set as Friday, 20 March via Proclamation No. 1189, s. 2026.
Planning impact
Schedule international meetings with Philippine counterparts around the proclaimed date — the proclamation is sometimes issued only 1-2 weeks ahead because NCMF must confirm the moon sighting. Cross-border payment cut-offs (USD/PHP via PhilPaSS) shift to the next business day. BARMM-based operations face deeper disruption (multi-day local observance) than offices in Metro Manila or Cebu. Government deadlines falling on the date roll forward automatically per the Administrative Code.

Feast of Ramadhan also appears in other country calendars such as Philippines. Recorded next dates include Philippines on April 1, 2025 — slight differences across borders are common because each country can apply weekend-substitution or regional-only rules to the same nominal holiday.
Philippines plans this holiday primarily around Asia/Manila. Because Feast of Ramadhan follows a lunar or lunisolar calendar, the Gregorian date moves significantly each year and statutory recognition often spans several days, so reading the official block is more useful than the headline date. Teams often line Feast of Ramadhan up with Feast of Sacrifice, Midterm Elections, and New Year's Day when blocking off the broader holiday window.
