The Philippines has 13 national public holidays in 2027, starting with New Year's Day on January 1, 2027 and ending with Rizal Day on December 30, 2027. Christmas Day lands on a Saturday in 2027, on December 25, 2027, and no substitute weekday is granted for it here, so it costs the calendar a day off compared with a year when it falls midweek.

Are regional holidays included for the Philippines?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of the Philippines are listed separately on the Philippines holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Philippines holiday dates change from 2027 to the next year?
Some of them do. Six of the 13 holidays in 2027 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 9, 2027, Maundy Thursday on March 25, 2027 and Good Friday on March 26, 2027, 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 2027. 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.
