Ninoy Aquino Day

Ninoy Aquino Day is a special non-working holiday observed on August 21st, commemorating the assassination of Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. in 1983, an event widely seen as a catalyst for the eventual restoration of Philippine democracy. Commemorative events and wreath-laying ceremonies are held at his monument and gravesite, with particular reflection on his role as a symbol of opposition to the Marcos dictatorship. The day connects closely in historical memory to the EDSA Revolution that followed years later.

Following the "no work, no pay" principle for special non-working days, unless a more favourable company policy applies
