Being a regular holiday as declared by Malacañang last March 20, 2025, if the employee does not work, the employer pays 100% of the employee’s wage for that day, provided that the employee reports to work or is on leave of absence with pay on the day immediately preceding the regular holiday.

If the day that immediately preceding the regular holiday is a non-working day in the establishment or the scheduled rest day of the employee, employees will be entitled to holiday pay if he or she reports to work or is on leave of absence with pay on the day immediately preceding the non-working day or rest day.
