September 9 is a Holiday in Cebu

There would be no work and classes in the entire Cebu Province and Cebu City on Friday, September 9, in commemoration of the late Don Sergio Osmeña Sr.’s 133th birth anniversary.

Sergio Osmeña is the 4th president of the Philippines.  He was the first President who came from Cebu and the Visayas.  He became the president when Manuel L. Quezon died in 1944, since he was the vice president at that time.

Sergio Osmeña is in our new 50 peso bill.
