LABOR DAY - MAY 1 2025

In the Philippines, Labor Day is celebrated on May 1. It traces back to May 1, 1903, when Filipino workers, led by the Union Obrera Democratica de Filipinas, held a massive rally in Manila to demand better working conditions under American rule. This marked the beginning of the labor movement in the country.

Also, May 1 is a national holiday in the Philippines. It is a regular holiday dedicated to honoring the contributions of Filipino workers across all industries. This day also serves as a platform for labor movements advocating for workers' rights, fair wages, and better working conditions.
