About public holidays in Philippines
The Philippines distinguishes between regular holidays (double pay if you work) and special non-working days (a smaller premium). The definitive calendar for each year is set by presidential proclamation, so extra dates can be added during the year.
Several religious dates — such as Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, or the Islamic feasts of Eid'l Fitr and Eid'l Adha — are confirmed each year once their exact dates are known.
In 2024, Philippines has 18 official public holidays. The month with the most holidays is December, with 5. 2 months have no public holiday at all.
There are 5 potential long weekends this year, from holidays landing on a Monday or Friday. Meanwhile, 4 holidays fall on a Saturday or Sunday.
The longest stretch without a public holiday runs from Independence Day (June 12) to Ninoy Aquino Day (August 21): 70 days.
The first holiday of the year is New Year's Day (January 1) and the last is Last Day of The Year (December 31).
