- Where
- Philippines
Monday, December 30, 1844, was followed by Wednesday, January 1, 1845, skipping Tuesday, December 31, 1844.
The day after Monday, December 30, 1844, was called Wednesday, January 1, 1845. This omission corrected the calendar drift that had persisted since 1521. The specific removal of Tuesday, December 31, 1844, was the mechanism used to realign the Philippine calendar with the international standard.
