More than 1,000 Muslims in Davao City joined the morning prayer in celebration of Eid’l Fitr or end of the Holy month of Ramadan along Roxas Avenue on Saturday.

“This prayer is the culmination of the month of Ramadan, tapos na ang fasting. Kaninang madaling araw, kahapon pa sa paglubog ng araw we already chanting. Lahat ng kamusliman wala na tapos na ang Ramadan. Pero may ibang Muslim na nagvoluntary fasting pa,” said Alem Abdulrahamn Caderao, executive director of Madrasah Comprehensive Development and Promotion Unit of Davao City in an interview.

Caderao said they gave a temporary date of 21st to the city government of Davao, however, there was no moon sighting on that date.

He said Saturday’s Eid prayer was a solemn celebration and prayer for peace, which was joined by Muslims from nearby provinces.

“May nakita ako kanina friends from outside Davao City dito sila nagperform ng prayer,” he said.
