Are regional holidays included for Philippines?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Philippines are listed separately on the Philippines holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Philippines holiday dates change from 2025 to the next year?
Some of them do. 6 of the 13 holidays in 2025 sit on a moving rule (islamic (hijri) calendar, linked to easter and set weekday of the month), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr) on March 30, 2025, Maundy Thursday on April 17, 2025 and Good Friday on April 18, 2025, plus 3 more.
How far ahead is the Philippines calendar actually fixed?
Through 2027. The holidays are set in law rather than announced year by year, so the dates repeat predictably. What can still change is a law amendment, a one-off holiday declared for a national event, and the exact day of any holiday on the Islamic calendar, which is confirmed by moon sighting. No corrections to the underlying dataset were needed for Philippines.
Which Philippines holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2025. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The Philippines holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.
