Rappler has published a comprehensive list of special non-working days proclaimed by the President for various provinces, cities, and municipalities across the Philippines for August 2026. The list covers multiple localities including those in Metro Manila, helping residents plan around local holidays. Quezon City residents can use this list to check if their city or nearby localities have declared special non-working days, which affects work schedules, school calendars, and travel plans. Knowing these dates in advance helps with personal and professional planning throughout August. The full list is available on Rappler’s website and organizes holidays by locality. Residents should verify their specific city or municipality’s proclaimed dates, as special non-working days vary by local government proclamation and are not nationwide holidays.
Background
In the Philippines, the President can proclaim special non-working days for specific localities to commemorate local founding anniversaries, festivals, or significant events. These are distinct from regular national holidays and only apply to the proclaimed areas. Local governments typically request these proclamations months in advance.
