#WalangPasok – January 9 2024 holiday in Manila
UPDATED, 4 JANUARY 2024
Millions are expected to flock to Manila this 9 January 2024, Tuesday, as the nation celebrates the annual Feast of the Black Nazarene. The theme for this year’s “traslacion” is “Ibig Po Naming Makita si Hesus” which is derived from John 12:21.
In connection with this, President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. has declared the day as a special non working-holiday throughout the city through Proclamation 434.
Keep in mind that certain school may also announce class suspensions for January 8. The Filipino Scribe will be updating this post if new information becomes available.
