The Ninoy Aquino Day holiday was moved from August 21, 2024, to November 29, 2024, through Proclamation 665, which was signed by former President Rodrigo Duterte in 2019.

The holiday commemorates the assassination of former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. on August 21, 1983, at the Manila International Airport.

Aquino was a leading figure in the opposition to the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos Sr. and was considered a symbol of democracy and freedom in the Philippines.

The Ninoy Aquino Day holiday is a national holiday in the Philippines, and government offices, schools, and businesses are closed on this day.
