See Philippines's holidays side by side with another country to plan cross-border work.
The Philippines distinguishes regular holidays from special non-working days under Presidential Decree 442 (Labor Code) book III rule IV and Proclamation 1841 series of 2009. Regular holidays carry 200 percent pay for work performed and 100 percent pay for non-work; special non-working days carry 130 percent pay for work and no pay for non-work (the no-work-no-pay rule). Regular holidays include New Year's Day, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Araw ng Kagitingan on 9 April commemorating the 1942 Fall of Bataan, Labor Day, Independence Day on 12 June, National Heroes Day on the last Monday of August, Bonifacio Day on 30 November, Christmas Day, Rizal Day on 30 December, plus Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
The Labor Code (PD 442) article 83 sets the standard working week at 48 hours over six days, with the typical office and banking week being Monday to Friday at 8 to 9 hours. Sunday is the statutory weekly rest day under article 91. The Rules of Court rule 22 rolls procedural deadlines falling on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday to the next working day. Settlement of peso transactions runs on the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas's PhilPaSS RTGS system and the PCHC clearing house, which observe regular holidays; special non-working day status is set by separate Proclamation and affects clearing windows.
For people planning cross-border meetings, the practical move is to overlay Philippines's calendar with the calendars of the other countries on your team. A week that looks completely clear from your end might be a national holiday on theirs. The compare tool above pairs two country calendars and highlights the overlapping closures, so you can spot the weeks where almost no one is at their desk before you put a launch on the board.
