#WalangPasok – July 2 2023 declared holiday in Pasig City

The day has been declared a special non-working holiday by President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. through Proclamation 271. The full text of this proclamation can be accessed here.
According to the Pasig City Cultural Affairs and Tourism Office, the city was founded by the Augustinians in 2 July 1573. They also established the Pasig Cathedral on the same day. There were claims that this is the first Marian parish in the country and perhaps even in the entire Asia.
Now regarded as one of the country’s premiere commercial center because of the Ortigas business district, Pasig achieved cityhood in 1994 through Republic Act 7829.
