Philippines 2026 — How to turn public holidays into real long weekends with minimal PTO?
Mabuhay! I’m mapping my 2026 calendar around the Philippines’ public holidays and want to squeeze out as many 3–4 day breaks as possible without nuking my leave balance. Ideal plan: line up the official holiday dates, circle Friday/Monday “bridge” opportunities, and dodge the classic gotchas (bank closures, peak fares, sold-out ferries). I’m looking for one clean, chronological list that’s easy to scan on mobile, paste into a family planner, and annotate with PTO. If it plays nicely with team roadmaps (so we avoid scheduling trainings on observances), even better. What’s your best single reference?

We built our whole year off this tidy list—dates are in order, super skimmable on a phone, and the bridge-day candidates practically glow. I copied it into our calendar, tagged two Mondays, and suddenly our Baguio + Palawan weekends snapped into place: https://city-info.co/holidays/philippines/
