April 9 | Day of Valor Bataan Day Corregidor Day |
Araw ng Kagitingan | Monday nearest April 9[2] | Commemorates the courage of the Filipino and American soldiers who surrendered to Japanese forces who occupied the Philippines during World War II. It used to refer to the Fall of Bataan as it happened on this day but it now also includes the Fall of Corregidor. In 2009, Araw ng Kagitingan fell on Maundy Thursday so it was moved to April 6.[3][1] |
May 1 | Labor Day | Araw ng mga Manggagawà | Monday nearest May 1[2] | Celebrates economic and social achievements of workers. The first Labour Day celebrations were held in the Philippines on May 1, 1903 in a mammoth rally in front of Malacañan Palace staged by the Union Obrera Democratica (Democratic Laborer's Union), while pressing for workers’ economic rights.[1] |
June 12 | Independence Day | Araw ng Kalayaan | Monday nearest June 12[2] | Celebrates the Philippine Declaration of Independence by Emilio Aguinaldo on June 12, 1898.[1] |
August 20 (2012) | Eid'l Fitr | Pagwawakas ng Ramadan | Movable date | Celebrates the end of the fasting month of Ramadan; also the first day of the month Shawwal in Islamic calendar. It was created by virtue of Republic Act No. 9177 and signed on 13 November 2002. The law was enacted in deference to the Filipino Muslim community and to promote peace among the major religions in the Philippines.[1] |
August 27 (2012) | National Heroes' Day | Araw ng mga Bayani | Last Monday of August[2] | Commemorates all the nation's heroes throughout history. It is a regular holiday marking the 1896 Cry of Pugad Lawin by the Katipunan, led by its Supremo Andrés Bonifacio, which began the Philippine Revolution.[1] |

November 30 | Bonifacio Day | Kaarawan ni Bonifacio | Monday nearest November 30[2] | Commemorates the birth of national hero Andrés Bonifacio on November 30, 1863. Bonifacio is remembered on his birthday, rather than the date of his death, 10 May 1897, for historical reasons. Unlike Rizal and other heroes who died at the hands of foreign persons, Bonifacio was executed by the Philippine government. Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo ordered his execution, as he was considered an enemy of the state after the events at the Tejeros Convention. Often conflated with National Heroes' Day.[1] |
December 25 | Christmas Day | Araw ng Pasko | Fixed date | Celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. As the majority of Filipinos are Christians, Christmas in the Philippines is one of the longest in the world, stretching from as early as September until the last week of January.

Local holidays
Philippine cities, municipalities, or barangays, often observe one or more holidays. Being a predominantly Catholic country, these are usually the feasts of the locale's one or more patron saints.
Secular observances usually mark a government's founding day or the birth or death of a prominent native. These are often celebrated with parades, processions, entertainment, and feasting, as well as whatever local customs are traditional.
Local holidays for the most part are applicable only to the immediate area concerned, and barangay fiestas do not usually warrant a public holiday for the area unless otherwise ordered.

"Holiday Economics"
Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo usually issues proclamations moving the holiday to Friday if a holiday falls on a Wednesday or Thursday, or to Monday if a holiday falls on a Tuesday. The sole purpose is to enable government and private employees to enjoy a three day weekend holiday. President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, coining the term holiday economics, introduced the policy in 2001 to reduce disruption to business and production schedules, encourage domestic tourism and give employees long weekends.[30] In 2004 she issued a proclamation making Christmas Eve as special non-working holiday and December 27, the Monday after Christmas as special non-working holiday.
On July 25, 2007, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed into law Republic Act (RA) 9492 also known as "An Act Rationalizing the Celebration of National Holidays", designating 11 Regular Holidays and three Nationwide Special Holidays.[2] Specific dates or days for celebration are designated. The law provides that holidays falling on a Wednesday will be observed on the Monday of the week and that holidays falling on a Sunday, the holiday will be observed on the Monday that follows. Three holidays (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Eidul Fitr) are designated as having movable dates, and the law provides that for movable holidays the President shall issue a proclamation, at least six months prior to the holiday concerned, the specific date that shall be declared as a non-working day. Though it was allowed by RA 9492, Labor Day was never moved to another date by President Arroyo at the request of labor groups.[31]
In addition to the Regular Holidays and Nationwide Special Days which it designates, the law specifies that the Eidul Adha shall be celebrated as a regional holiday in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
While Arroyo's "holiday economics" has been praised for boosting domestic tourism and for encouraging more quality time among members of Filipino families, businessmen are complaining over lost productivity and the hassle of preparing mandatory holiday and overtime salaries in a short period of time. Others deplored it as presidential tinkering with history via executive fiat.[30]
The final two weeks of 2008 have the largest number of holidays based on Presidential Proclamation 1463[32] with offices closed from December 25, 2008 until January 4, 2009.
