How public holidays work in Philippines
Holidays are classed as either regular holidays or special non-working days, which carry different pay rules, and some movable holidays have been shifted to the nearest Monday under the country's holiday economics policy. Public holidays are the days most workplaces and schools in Philippines treat as days off, so they shape when people travel, book time away and plan around childcare. Religious holidays and wider observances sit alongside them. They are not always days off, but they are dates many households still mark. Each year page lists the public and religious holidays in full, and OneHaus keeps the complete set current in your shared home calendar.
