HOUSE BILL NO. _____ 
INTRODUCED BY CONGRESSMAN STEVE CHIONGBIAN SOLON 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This is a refiled bill. The House of Representatives (19th Congress) passed this measure 
under 3rd Reading and transmitted the same to the Senate on December 12, 2024. 
The Jesus Reigns Day of Celebration has been observed since November 30, 2012.  It 
started in Cebu and has since then spread to 82 provinces and major cities in the Philippines, as 
well as to other countries namely Indonesia, Japan, and America. This continues to draw a great 
number of people to the Lord Jesus Christ. 
This national day of celebration is ecumenical in nature (Meriam webster- a: of, relating 
to, or representing the whole of a body of churches) and is participated by Christian congregations 
and others who want to learn about Jesus Christ. 
In the Philippines, as stated in the report by Philippine Statistics Authority in 2020, 
Christian congregation accounts for about 90% of Filipinos.  It stated "78.8% were Catholics, 
around 12% were Protestants and 6.8% were Muslims."  There are other reports that have 
different figures, but they all indicate that the Christian population represents the great majority 
of Filipinos. 
This bill, therefore seeks to grant the millions of Christians and non-Christians who wish 
to know and celebrate the greatness of Jesus the space to express and apply their faith.  This 
may be done during breaks at work; at home with the family and loved ones; and at other venues. 
The references of this bill include RA 10966 or the declaration of December 8 as a holiday 
that commemorates the feast of the immaculate conception of Mary; RA 11370 or an act declaring 
September 8 a holiday in commemoration of the Feast of the Nativity of the blessed Virgin Mary; 
RA 9645 or the commemoration of the founding anniversary of Iglesia ni Cristo; RA 9849 or an 
act declaring the 10th day of Zhul Hiffa in observance of Eiduladha; and RA 9177 or a holiday in 
observance of Eid'ul Fitr among others. 
The passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
