The month of April 2026 is of high value as both the workers and travellers in the Philippines spend this period. It has a combination of the national holidays and the highly followed Holy Week, so it brings in the long-weekends, slows down of business and the best travelling seasons. However, whatever you want to know, whether you are planning to have time off or simply need to know what is happening, then these are all the things that you need to know.
The holiday calendar of April, although rather short, is overwhelming in its power.
The regular holidays that have been confirmed are:
Thursday, April 9, 2026- Araw ng Kagitingan (Day of Valor).
Lander (2026) does not provide a date, except that it is Saturday in the year 2026, otherwise known as Black Saturday.
April 5, 2026 (Sunday) – Easter Sunday
The Maundy Thursday and Good Friday (dates of the Holy Week, may not be established yet)

You are guaranteed full pay even when on holiday and you are not working though there are special non-working days which are followed by the principle of no work, no pay unless otherwise as stated by your employer. In the meantime, observances are not official holidays but they are also well known throughout the entire country.
Early April is expected to be Holy Week, and the days of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday are the most significant days. They are normally proclaimed as regular holidays thus forming a natural long weekend.
The everyday life is extremely sluggish on such days. Banks, government offices and most of the businesses of the individual businesses shut down. Shopping centers can be able to work with less time and even some restaurants close completely; particularly on Good Friday that is celebrated with seriousness.
Holy Week is also a cause of one of the largest travelling seasons in the Philippines. The roads get filled, the aircrafts are filled within minutes and the well known places such beaches and provinces are filled with tourists. Meanwhile, the processions, the church visits and reenactments are done in different parts of the country.
