Philippines Public Holidays

Philippines Public Holidays tracks the Philippines' public holidays and widely observed commemorative dates, combining national anniversaries, Christian feasts, Islamic observances, and civic memorial days that shape the country's working year. The feed is broader than a narrow list of statutory closures, with entries such as Lapu-Lapu Day, José Rizal's birthday, Ninoy Aquino Day, National Heroes' Day, Bonifacio Day, and Iglesia ni Cristo Day appearing alongside Eid al-Adha, Islamic New Year, Mawlid, All Saints' Day, and the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Some dates function as formal holidays, while others carry commemorative weight in public life. Most entries are all-day markers rather than timed events, which suits the practical role of a holiday calendar in government administration, schools, banking, transport, and household planning. The mix also shows how the Philippine calendar combines fixed national anniversaries with movable religious observances and culturally significant dates such as Mid-Autumn Festival. That matters because closures and reduced hours do not fall into a single pattern across the year, and planning often depends on whether an observance carries nationwide effect or sits in a more specific commemorative category. Philippines Public Holidays is a Smart Calendar Feed that is free to subscribe and works with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook. Keeping the list inside a calendar app helps businesses, schools, and families see public holidays, feast days, and memorial dates beside payroll runs, shipping schedules, school terms, and travel plans without rebuilding the calendar by hand. The feed is also useful for organisations comparing nationwide holidays with the broader rhythm of civic and religious observance across the Philippines. The calendar updates regularly so proclamations, corrections, and reflected observance changes appear automatically. That is important in the Philippines, where some dates are declared or adjusted through official notice and where the balance between statutory holidays and commemorative days can affect staffing, domestic travel, and service availability.
