While Duarte Day actually took place on Thursday, 26 January 2017, the Ministry of Labor ordered that Monday, 30 January 2017, be a holiday in the Dominican Republic.
As is customary, DR1 Daily News will not be updated on the holiday. Headline news over the Duarte Day long weekend will be compiled for the Tuesday, 1 February 2017 issue.
