Philippines Holidays 2027— Probable Dates & Status
Last verified against official channels: 2026-05-21
The official Presidential Proclamation listing Philippine holidays for 2027 has not yet been signed by Malacañang. Below are the 10 regular holidays that recur every year by statute (Republic Acts and the Labor Code), along with their probable 2027 dates. These will be confirmed in the upcoming proclamation, typically released in September 2026.
Important: Until the 2027 Presidential Proclamation is signed, these dates are expected, not official. They are accurate to the statutes (RA 9492, RA 9849) that govern recurring Philippine holidays, but the Office of the President can adjust any holiday by proclamation. For payroll decisions, wait for the official announcement.

Expected around March/April 2027. Date depends on lunar sighting and a separate Presidential Proclamation.
Eid'l Adha
Expected around May/June 2027. Date depends on lunar sighting and a separate Presidential Proclamation.
