There are REALLY TONS of websites telling us how, why, maybe why not and when you'll be able to move to the Philippines. I only love to tell and explain some things "between the lines". Enjoy reading, be informed, have fun and be entertained too!

The National Commission on Muslim Filipinos have been designated to inform the Office of the President of the actual dates when the holidays will fall.

The proclamation, signed by the President last July 17, takes effect immediately.
