Long Weekends in the Philippines 2027 — Probable Dates

Last verified against official channels: 2026-05-21

The 2027 Presidential Proclamation has not been signed yet, but the 10 recurring regular holidays (RA 9492, RA 9849, Labor Code) let us project the most likely long weekends. The list below uses statutory dates and the Easter calculation — final dates will be confirmed in the proclamation expected around September 2026.

Important: These long weekends are expected, not official. Special non-working days (Christmas Eve, All Saints' Day, Chinese New Year, etc.) are typically added by the same Presidential Proclamation and are NOT included here. Eid'l Fitr and Eid'l Adha can also create additional long weekends once their dates are declared. The official list always contains more long weekends than the probable estimate.

6 probable long weekends in 2027

Based on the recurring regular holidays only. Add 4–5 more once special non-working days and Islamic holidays are proclaimed.
