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.
The 2027 proclamation has not been signed yet — it usually lands around September of the preceding year. The dates below are the ones fixed by law plus the movable church and lunar dates, so treat them as planning figures and re-check once Malacañang publishes the list.
