HOLIDAYS 2025 PHILIPPINES – Below is the list of the regular and special non-working days in the country this year due to various events.
Undeniably, every year, aside from the personal occasions, among those that many people look forward to are the holidays. These days can mean different among many individuals. To a lot of people, these days mean relaxation and extended rest as there is no school or work.
In other cases, most especially in the case of those who usually have busy schedules at work, the holidays are the perfect time to catch up with family and friends, go on a road trip or adventure, push through with the much-awaited out-of-town or out-of-the-country trip, and a lot more.
The holidays in the Philippines are usually either a regular holiday wherein all classes in all levels and work in both private and public sectors are suspended or a special non-working day that cancels work as well. In the case of employees who report to work during a regular holiday or a special non-working day, they are entitled to an extra pay based on the holiday pay rules in the Philippines.
