The next Philippine holidays are Sunday 1 November 2026<\/strong>, All Saints’ Day, and Monday 2 November<\/strong>, All Souls’ Day, which give a 3-day weekend with no leave.<\/p>\n

Proclamation No. 1427<\/a> lists 19 dates for 2027<\/strong>, including 10 regular holidays.<\/p>\n

2 leave days on 28 and 29 December turn the Christmas to New Year stretch into 11 days off<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This guide lists the Philippines holidays left in 2026 and all of 2027. It shows the holiday types, the long weekends, the DepEd school calendar, and trips that fit each stretch.<\/p>\n

Philippine Holiday Breaks at a Glance<\/h2>\n

These are the stretches worth planning first, with the trip that fits each one.<\/p>\n

Leave days are weekdays you take off, and days off count weekends.<\/p>\n

The table assumes your workplace gives special non-working days as days off, though employers can ask you to work on them (see the FAQs).<\/p>\n
