Malacañang has declared March 16 as a special non-working holiday in Negros Oriental province to allow citizens to "grieve and honor the memory" of late former Negros Oriental governor Roel Degamo and other victims in the assassination last March 4.

Degamo will be laid to rest on Thursday, March 16.

"It is but fitting and proper to give the people of the Province of Negros Oriental the opportunity to show their respect and join the interment of Governor Degamo," Proclamation No. 185 reads.

The proclamation was signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on behalf of President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.

On March 4, Degamo was shot dead inside his residential compound in Barangay San Isidro, Pamplona, Negros Oriental. Nine other civilians were slain.
