The said proclamation states that declaring national holidays for the observance of Eid'l Fitr and Eid'l Adha shall be issued after the approximate dates of the Islamic holidays have been determined in accordance with the Islamic calendar, or the lunar calendar, or upon the Islamic astronomical calculations, whichever is possible or convenient.

The Labor department, meanwhile, is directed to promulgate guidelines for the said proclamation.—LDF, GMA News
