Second Sunday in January: Unknown Citizens’ Day (Philippines)

Unknown Citizens’ Day is observed in the Philippines every second Sunday of January to honor ordinary members of Filipino society who contribute to the country's development and progress. Established by the 1st National Assembly of the Philippines in November 1936, this observance recognizes the importance of rank-and-file citizens in building a thriving nation. The day emphasizes the collective responsibility of every Filipino to fulfill their duties as citizens, promoting values such as following traffic rules, conserving resources, and respecting others. On this occasion, Eagle Broadcasting Corporation has published a list of actions that individuals can take to be responsible citizens, including environmental protection and fostering good relationships within their communities. Although it is not a public holiday, it typically provides a day off for most Filipinos since it falls on a Sunday.
