Philippines Public Holidays

Philippines Public Holidays lists the official holidays observed across the Philippines, covering national days, religious observances, bank holidays, and selected commemorations in the 2026 holiday cycle. The schedule follows proclamations issued by the Philippine government, with dates that reflect both fixed observances and moveable religious events that recur each year. It is a holidays calendar for planning around Manila, the rest of Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao, where public closures and reduced office hours can vary by observance. Entries in the calendar include major fixed and moveable occasions such as New Year’s Day, First Philippine Republic Day, Constitution Day, Chinese New Year, EDSA Revolution Anniversary, Lantern Festival, End of Ramadan, and Maundy Thursday. That mix shows how the national calendar combines civic history, Christian observance, Islamic festivals, and Chinese cultural celebrations. Some items are statutory public holidays, while others are optional commemorations or special non-working days that affect schools, banks, transport services, and government offices differently. The result is a schedule that changes in emphasis through the year rather than following a single seasonal pattern. Businesses, civil servants, schools, and travel planners use this smart calendar feed to keep public closures visible inside Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook without manual entry. The feed is free to subscribe and is especially useful for teams coordinating payroll, shipping, branch staffing, or customer service around long weekends and feast days. It also helps households and expatriates track dates that affect ferries, domestic flights, and holiday trading hours across the Philippines, where regional planning often depends on whether an observance is nationwide or locally declared. The calendar updates regularly so cancellations, proclamations, and rescheduled observances appear automatically as official notices are released. That matters in a country where holiday rules can be adjusted by presidential proclamation and where some dates are confirmed only after government announcements. A live feed keeps the 2026 holiday list aligned with the current official schedule and reduces the risk of relying on stale lists copied from previous years.
