Declaring Dec 15 as Naga City Charter Day

The day commemorates the anniversary of the City of Naga’s charter, marking its establishment and historical foundation.
The observance fosters local pride and recognition of the city’s historical and legal milestones.

The Act takes effect immediately upon approval by the President of the Philippines.
Ensures that the holiday is consistently observed annually from the date of effectivity onward.

The Act was passed by both Houses of Congress — the House of Representatives on February 6, 2001, and the Senate on June 8, 2000.
It was approved by the President of the Philippines on April 8, 2001.
Official government signatories include the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House, Secretary of the Senate, and Secretary General of the House of Representatives.

The law applies exclusively within the territorial confines of the City of Naga.
Only residents, workers, and officials within the city are affected by this special working public holiday designation.

Special Working Public Holiday: This classification allows work to continue but entitles employees to additional holiday pay as prescribed by Philippine labor laws.
Charter Day Commemoration: An institutionalized recognition of the city’s charter anniversary as an occasion of historical and civic importance.
Localized Holiday Observance: The holiday’s legal force is limited geographically to the City of Naga, establishing it as a local public holiday rather than a national holiday.
