Kabarjawa.com – In the near future, the community will commemorate the Pancasila Power Day, precisely on 1 October.

This year is no different from previous years, because this momentum will be present as an important historical reminder of the determination of the country’s ideology.

However, there is one question that almost always arises every time ahead of that date, namely the matter of whether 1 October including holidays or keep going to work and school.

The emergence of questions like this is quite reasonable, because people often associate the commemoration of national holidays with the determination of official holidays. Then, what exactly is the government regulation related to October 1, 2025?

Official rules of the Pancasila magic day

The Indonesian government has long set October 1 as the Pancasila Power Day through Presidential Decree Number 153 of 1967.

In the decision, it was stated that October 1 was commemorated as a historical day, but was not designated as a national holiday.

That is, the community continues to move as usual even though there are ceremonies or warning activities in various agencies.

This provision is also reaffirmed in a joint decree of three ministers regarding national holidays and joint leave.

Based on the latest SKB that applies to 2025, October 1 is not included in the list of national holidays or joint leave.

Thus, it is clear that on October 1, 2025 the Indonesian people continue to work, students continue to enter schools, and government and private agencies continue to operate normally.

Position on October 1, 2025 in the calendar

If you view the calendar next year, October 1, 2025 falls on Wednesday. That means the day was in the middle of the week.

For most workers and students, today is an active day with full routine.

Nevertheless, in some schools and offices, a flag ceremony or special activity is usually held as a form of respect for the Pancasila Power Day.

Then, what about holidays in October?

Although October 1 is not a holiday, it does not mean that people do not have the opportunity to rest in October 2025.

• Sunday, October 5, 2025
• Sunday, October 12, 2025

Thus, people do not need to be confused anymore about the status of this date. For those who want to celebrate or commemorate it, can attend official ceremonies or reflective activities without disturbing the main activities. Meanwhile, the red date remains on Sunday throughout October. ***
