What this value means
12 regular holidays + 8 special (non-working) days = 20 nationwide days off. Eid dates are fixed by later proclamations on National Commission on Muslim Filipinos recommendation: Eid'l Fitr Fri 20 Mar 2026 (Proc. 1189) and Eid'l Adha Wed 27 May 2026 (Proc. 1264) - both regular holidays. Philippine law has NO automatic weekend substitution: All Saints' Day (Sun 1 Nov 2026) stays on the Sunday with no substitute day; any date-moving ('holiday economics', RA 9492) is done expressly in the proclamation and none was applied for 2026. Deliberately excluded: EDSA People Power Revolution anniversary (Wed 25 Feb 2026), declared a special WORKING day by Proc. 1006. National Heroes Day is the last Monday of August. Pay rules (Labor Code Art. 94 / DOLE guidelines): regular holidays 100% pay if unworked, 200% if worked; special non-working days no-work-no-pay, +30% premium if worked. No further proclamations amending the 2026 calendar found as of 20 Jul 2026. Access quirks: officialgazette.gov.ph and pco.gov.ph return 403 to automated fetches and elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph fails TLS verification - texts verified via the LawPhil mirrors (Proc. 1189: https://lawphil.net/executive/proc/proc2026/proc_1189_2026.html; Proc. 1264: https://lawphil.net/executive/proc/proc2026/proc_1264_2026.html).
