Philippines — Janvier 2026

Philippines businesses have 20 working days in Janvier 2026 — that's 31 calendar days minus 9 weekend days and 2 weekday public holidays (New Year's Day, Lailatul Isra Wal Mi Raj). The depth of Northern-hemisphere winter and Southern-hemisphere summer typically governs the work-rhythm in Janvier; project deadlines and payroll cycles in Philippines should account for the holiday days listed above. January opens the global calendar with New Year's Day observed in nearly every country and several civic holidays unique to the southern hemisphere. For pay-period planning, Janvier 2026 contains 4 full work-weeks plus 0 additional weekdays, useful when scheduling milestones or quarterly reviews. The working-day count above counts substitute days as a single deduction — it does not double-count when a public holiday falling on a weekend is moved to a Monday or Friday. Use this figure as the authoritative baseline for Philippines payroll-period calculations.
