Is April 21, 2023 Holiday in the Philippines for Eid Al Fitr?

When is Eid Al Fitr 2023?

The Philippines also observes Islamic holidays: Eid al-Fitr (The End of Ramadan) and Eid al-Adha (The Feast of Sacrifice). When I was in Dubai working on a private construction company we were given 2 days off to celebrate Eid Al Fitr. However, if you are working on government agencies in UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia then you will be allowed to have a five to seven days celebration of the occasion.

According to TimeoutDubai.com, In 2023, the start date of Ramadan was Thursday, March 23. With the Holy Month fully underway, this means Eid al Fitr is expected to fall on Friday, April 21 – after the end of the annual fast.

Eid'l Fitr, one of the two most important Islamic celebrations, is observed by the Muslim community three days after the month-long Ramadan fasting.

The holiday is determined by the use of the lunar-based Islamic calendar through the sighting of the crescent moon in the Islamic month of Shawwal.

It was established as a regular holiday by virtue of Republic Act 9177 to honor the country's Islamic heritage.

Apple Watch- Weather app not working on watch

I just got the apple watch and all the apps seem to work. But the default weather app cannot retrieve any data. I just has the spinning dots. I looked on my phone and the app works and has follow access to my location. The other weather app I loaded works great but of course I can't add a third party app to the watch faces. Any suggestions? I had this issue, but was able to find out the cause and fix it. I normally use the Weather Channel app instead of the Apple Weather app, maybe you do too. On your iPhone, go into the Apple Weather app and make sure that you have a default city set up there. If you don't then add one, and that location will show up in the Apple Watch app and on the weather app on the Apple Watch. That's all I had to do to get mine working. Meanwhile, according to Christopher Jennings fron the Forum Board: I just had the same problem with my new watch and was able to fix it without all the resetting and unsyncing stuff. My fix was to go into the Appl...
