EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Jesus Reigns: A Day of Celebration has been observed since November 30, 2012. 
It started in Cebu and has since then continued to draw millions of the followers and 
believers of the Lord Jesus Christ not only in the eighty-two (82) provinces and major 
cities of the country but also in other countries, like Indonesia, Japan, and America, where 
they gather and celebrate. 
The celebration is ecumenical, participated in by Christian congregations and 
others who want to witness the greatness of Jesus. The community of believers come 
together on this special day to rejoice in thanksgiving for the blessings and future 
blessings the Almighty has and will bestow upon the Philippines and the Filipinos.  
This bill, therefore, seeks to grant the millions of followers the space and the 
recognition to truly express their faith and the actual celebration. It proposes to declare 
the 30th of November every year as Jesus Reigns National Day of Worship.   
The references of the bill include Republic Act No. 10966 or “An Act Declaring 
December 8 of Every Year a Special Nonworking Holiday in the Entire Country to 
Commemorate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, the Principal Patroness 
of the Philippines,” Republic Act No. 11370 or “An Act Declaring September 8 of Every
