Palace : June 20, 2011 is a Special Non-working Day (Rizal's 150th Birth Anniversary)
The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) requested Malacanang to declare the holiday on June 20, 2011 (monday) instead of June 19, 2011 (sunday) to give opportunity to all Filipinos to commemorate Rizal's patriotic deeds and sacrifices for the country, rekindle their admiration and respect for him, and to celebrate this milestone with appropriate ceremonies.
