President Carlos P. Garcia Day, observed in Bohol, is a special non-working holiday celebrated every November 4 to honor the birthday of Carlos P. Garcia, the eighth President of the Philippines, who was born in Talibon, Bohol in 1896. The day commemorates his significant contributions to Philippine politics, including his role as vice president and later president, during which he implemented policies favoring Filipino businesses and initiated the Austerity Program. The holiday was established two years after his death in 1971 and is marked by commemorative ceremonies and various events that celebrate his legacy. Garcia's political career began in 1925 when he was elected to the House of Representatives, and he later served as governor of Bohol and a senator. The observance reflects the pride of Boholanos in their native son and his impact on the nation.
