Questions

How many public holidays does Philippines have in 2026?

How many working days are there in Philippines in 2026?

246 working days, counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend and excluding the 18 national public holidays.

Do public holidays count as demurrage free days in Philippines?

Usually yes — most carriers count free time in calendar days, including weekends and holidays. If your tariff or contract says working days, holidays and weekends are excluded and the last free day moves later. The Shyppy demurrage calculator can count either way.
