History

The Philippines first marked Labor Day on 1 May 1903, when organized workers marched in Manila to demand fairer conditions. It later became part of the statutory regular-holiday calendar.

Why it matters

Philippine regular holidays and special non-working days have different employment treatment. The 2026 and 2027 calendars follow their dated national proclamations, including additional All Souls' Day and Christmas Eve dates. Eid dates require separate proclamations. The 2028 calendar is a provisional statutory forecast: discretionary Chinese New Year and Black Saturday dates, and unverified Eid dates, are withheld until a dated authority is available. Local proclamations are outside this nationwide list.

Observance

Labour groups organize marches, assemblies and policy events. Government agencies commonly publish employment programmes or labour-standard reminders.

Travel and planning

Check the actual date, region and confirmation status shown here before arranging travel or leave. Local-only occurrences are not a nationwide closure.
