2026 Philippine Holidays

2026 Philippine Holidays

President Proclamation No. 1006 signed on September 3, 2025, announced publicly last September 4, 2025, declaring the Regular Holidays and Special (Non-Working) Days for the Year 2026.


Still 118 days until 2026, the announcement of the Philippine Holidays in 2026 was published earlier this year than in previous year.

Which is a good thing because it now gives us more time to plan and save for our upcoming holidays (or trips) this coming 2026. Just in time as there are many on-going airfare seat sales at this time of announcement!

In this article, I will be sharing the official list of Philippine Holidays in 2026 per President Proclamation No. 1006.

There are too many rules to remember in computing payroll which means there is a high posibility of error and can be costly especially if accumulated overtime. For only 56 pesos per employee, you can automate these rules and processes so you can spend more time on more important things. Check it out
