Guide on 2026 Long Weekend in PH due to Holidays, Leave Credits
2026 LONG WEEKEND PHILIPPINES – You can check here the list of the extended weekends in the country throughout the year.
Did you have a good time with all the holidays that 2025 brought? You might be excited not only with the holidays this year but as well as the extended weekends that it has in store for you. They can be the perfect time for your much-awaited vacation or at least some extra time in bed.
Extended weekends or long weekends are usually due to holidays that fall on a Monday or a Friday — thus, if you work five (5) days a week or study with the weekends as your rest days, you will have another extra day for rest. Meanwhile, if a holiday falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday, there is another way to have an extended weekend — plot your leave credit from work on the day that falls between the holiday and the weekend.
There is a actually a long list of 2026 long weekend privileges due to holidays and well-plotted leave credits from work. Here is a guide on the extended weekends that you can set for your next vacation:
