A long weekend here is three or more days off in a row — weekends plus public holidays — that includes at least one holiday. A bridge is only listed when it gives at least two days off for every day of leave, plus the weekend. Local holidays kept in only part of the Philippines are not counted. Past dates are greyed out.
