2026 Philippine holidays.

Every regular holiday and special day for 2026, with the pay rate each one carries when someone works it. Weekdays are computed from the dates rather than copied, because the secondhand lists tend to get one or two wrong.

Declared by Proclamation No. 1006, signed 3 September 2025 — 12 regular holidays and 8 special (non-working) days. Eid'l Fitr and Eid'l Adha were added later by their own proclamations, as they always are.

Regular holidays

Paid even when not worked. 200% when worked.

Special non-working days

No work, no pay. 130% when worked.

Special working days

An ordinary day for pay. No premium.

*Subject to paid leave, monthly-paid arrangements, company policy or practice, a CBA, the employment contract, and statutory coverage or exemptions.

Rates are percentages of the employee's ordinary daily rate, before overtime or night differential. Work out a specific day's pay if the shift ran long or crossed into the night.

Long weekends.

Runs of three or more days off in a row, assuming a Monday-to-Friday schedule. Plenty of shops trade Saturdays, so read these as the office calendar your customers and suppliers will be on.
