How many regular holidays are there in the Philippines in 2026?
The 2026 list includes 12 regular holidays when the two later-confirmed Eid holidays are counted with the regular holiday schedule. Eid'l Fitr is March 20, 2026, and Eid'l Adha is May 27, 2026.
How many special non-working days are there in the Philippines in 2026?
