Long weekend ahead, TAUians!

As we honor the life and legacy of Senator Benigno β€œNinoy” Aquino, Jr., the MalacaΓ±ang Palace, per Proclamation No. 665, declares 23 August (Friday) a special non-working holiday throughout the country.

Said proclamation aims to provide longer rest for employees and promote domestic tourism, as long as the historical significance of Ninoy Aquino Day is observed. Hence, the holiday originally set every August 21st of the year has been moved to Friday, 23 August.
Β 
As we remember the 41st death anniversary of Sen. Ninoy, please note that Monday, 26 August, is also a holiday in celebration of β€œNational Heroes Day” per Proclamation No. 368. Let us continue to honor the courage, selflessness, and patriotism of the country's heroes, especially those whose names are lost in the annals of history, who fought for freedom and self-determination.

With this long weekend ahead, we, at the Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU), join the country as we offer respect and celebrate nationhood for the heroes who have fought for our country’s independence and democracy. TAU will resume office transactions on Tuesday, 27 August..
