Good Friday is a national holiday in the Philippines. Good Friday is a part of the religious holiday week in the lead-up to Easter Sunday. It commemorates the crucifixion and death of Christ. Christians meditate on Jesus's suffering and death on the cross, and what this means for their faith. Good Friday was observed as a day of sorrow, penance, and fasting practice from the early days of Christianity.

In the Philippines, there are only two kinds of holidays: regular holidays, and special non-working holidays.

Regular holidays are those that usually have a fixed date, such as New Year's Day, Independence Day, and Christmas Day.

Special Holidays, on the other hand, are more flexible. Apart from being enacted by Congress, they can also be declared by the President of the Philippines.
