Planning Around United States & Philippines Holidays
The Philippines and the US have a unique historical relationship — the Philippines was a US territory for nearly five decades — yet their official holiday calendars have almost no overlap. The Philippines observes a rich mix of Catholic holidays, Islamic observances, and national commemoration days.
For Travelers
If you are traveling between United States and Philippines, overlapping public holidays mean that services, attractions, and businesses on both ends of your trip may be closed or operating at reduced capacity. Knowing overlapping dates in advance helps you avoid unpleasant surprises — or lets you time your trip to experience a local holiday celebration.
Non-overlapping holidays matter just as much: a public holiday in your destination but not your home country may catch you off guard, with banks and government offices closed on what feels like an ordinary weekday.
For International Teams & Business
Philippine Labor Day (May 1) is a full public holiday, unlike in the US. The Philippines also observes All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day (November 1–2) as major public holidays.
Overlapping public holidays are natural moments for system maintenance, team offsites, or no-deadline periods. Non-overlapping holidays require more care: one team is off while the other is working, which can create bottlenecks if not planned for in advance.
