📌 Islamic Holidays
The dates for Eid’l Fitr and Eid’l Adha in 2026 have not yet been officially declared (they depend on the lunar calendar; announcements are usually made closer to the dates).
📆 Notes
These holidays are nationally recognized by the Philippine government and apply to both public and private sectors, though specific company policies (especially for private firms) can influence whether employees get the day off.
Schools, offices, and government agencies typically adjust academic calendars and work schedules around these holidays to maximize long weekends or observances.
