The day is the Feast of Maulid Al-Nabi or the Birthday of the Prophet Mohammed.

There is no already a memorandum circular from the local office of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (see at the bottom).  Earlier,  we saw and read one from its Region IX counterpart dated December 15, 2015.
