2027 Philippine holidays.
Every regular holiday and special day for 2027, with the pay rate each one carries when someone works it. Weekdays are computed from the dates rather than copied, because the secondhand lists tend to get one or two wrong.
Declared by Proclamation No. 1427, signed 8 September 2026 — 10 regular holidays and 8 special (non-working) days. Eid'l Fitr and Eid'l Adha get their own proclamations once their dates are fixed, so the two dates below are still estimates.
