National Bible Day is observed in the Philippines every last Monday of January to emphasize the significance of the Bible in spiritual empowerment and encourage its study among the population. The day was officially declared by President Rodrigo Duterte in December 2018, building on a history that began in the 1980s with President Ferdinand Marcos, who initially established National Bible Sunday. Events on this day include special church services, Bible readings, studies, and quizzes, aimed at engaging people with the Bible in creative ways. The Philippines, a predominantly Christian nation where about 90% of the population identifies as Christian, celebrates this holiday amidst its rich Christian traditions, which include various public holidays related to Catholicism.
