ELI5— what this means for you
On regular holidays (New Year, Holy Week, Labor Day, Bonifacio Day, Christmas, etc.), you get paid your full daily wage even if you stay home. If your employer requires you to work, you get 200% — double your normal daily rate.
Key point
Regular holiday = full pay even if absent. Required to work = 200% (double pay).
