Taguig City, Jul 20 (EFE/EPA).- Muslims in the Philippines gathered Tuesday at mosques across the country for the morning prayers to mark Eid al-Adha. The festival commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael as a sign of submission to Allah and also marks the Hajj, the yearly Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, the holiest place in Islam. Cattle and goats are slaughtered as part of the celebration and the meat split into three parts, one for the family, one for friends and relatives, and one for the poor.
