All Saints' Day (Undas) 2026

Type of holiday — official non-working holiday, a non-working day.

All Saints’ Day is observed on 1 November. Its calendar entry shapes worship, family plans, public ceremonies, and the hours kept by schools, banks, government counters, and private employers. The calculator places it against nearby weekends and days off when leave, appointments, or a journey must be arranged.

The day is associated with Undas visits, candles, flowers, prayer, and reunions at family graves. In everyday life, cemeteries become busy from the preceding days and many households travel back to their home province. Customs differ among households, islands, faith communities, and towns, so a calendar does not mean everyone marks the occasion in one way.

For work, first identify whether the proclamation treats the date as a regular holiday, a special non-working day, or another category. Those labels affect pay and attendance differently. A school may issue its own academic-calendar notice, while hospitals, utilities, call centres, hotels, and other continuous operations keep rosters when ordinary offices close. Employees should use the published company schedule.

Travel needs extra allowance because roads near memorial parks are rerouted, parking is restricted, and terminals handle heavy passenger volumes. Conditions vary between Metro Manila, other urban centres, and inter-island routes. A trip using a jeepney, bus, rail line, ferry, or domestic flight may be affected even when the destination is quiet. Monsoon rain or a tropical cyclone can add cancellations; in hotter months, outdoor activities are easier early or late.

The displayed date should be checked against cemetery rules, weather reports, and local traffic plans. National proclamations can declare, reclassify, or move observances, and a city or province may have a separate local holiday. Times use the country’s single UTC+8 civil time, with no daylight-saving clock change, which keeps domestic coordination simple but matters for contacts overseas.

Use the result to count backward for bookings, deadlines, medicine, cash, and supplies. Allow for queues before closure and for the return rush. For payroll, legal filing, examinations, or confirmed transport, the notice from the employer, school, agency, court, carrier, or local government remains decisive.
