President Aquino set the date as the third Sunday of June in 1988 by presidential

proclamation. President Estrada changed it to the first Monday of December, also

by presidential proclamation in 1998. And he also set Mother’s Day on that same
date. However, many still keep the dates for Father’s Day and Mother’s Day that are
kept in other parts of the world.

For Father’s Day, many in the Philippines give gifts to their father, grandfather,
uncle, brother, stepfather, or even a male friend who has had a “fatherly” influence
on their lives. Cards, sweets, picnics, or a meal at a restaurant are common ways to
honour Dad on his big day.
