Written By Pinoy Favs on Thursday, September 3, 2015 | 6:40 AM

OsmeƱa Day, special non-working holiday on September 9, 2015 in Cebu province. Philippines will commemorate the 137th anniversary of late President Sergio Osmena Jr.

September 9 is a special non-working holiday in the province of Cebu including all its component cities as mandated by Republic Act (RA) 6953. It is a special working holiday in the rest of the Philippines. RA 6953 was enacted in May 1990 during the time of then-President Corazon Aquino.

Osmena served as governor, House Speaker, and senator prior to being elected Vice President in 1935. He ascended to the presidency in 1944 when Manuel Quezon died of tuberculosis. His tenure ended in 1946 following his loss to Manuel Roxas in that year’s elections.
