Decision Date: Jun 21, 1957

Republic Act No. 1745 designates October 20th as a special holiday in Leyte, granting the President the authority to proclaim other special public holidays.

Law Summary

Limitation of Special Holidays for Election Purposes

When the President calls for a special election (either for a Congressional or provincial office), the special holiday declared shall be limited only to the district or province where the election is held.
This ensures that the special holiday is localized and relevant to the area undergoing elections.

Mandated Special Holiday for Leyte Province

Regardless of other proclamations, October 20 of every year is explicitly declared as a special holiday strictly for the Province of Leyte.
This provision amends Section 30 of the Revised Administrative Code to institute a fixed special holiday unique to this province.

Effectivity of the Act

The law takes effect immediately upon its approval.
This ensures timely implementation without delay after enactment.
