MANILA, Philippines— Employees who work on Araw ng Kagitingan on April 9 are entitled to triple pay, the National Wages and Productivity Commission said.
Based on Proclamation No. 845 signed by President Rodrigo Duterte last November, April 9, a Thursday, is a double regular holiday. Both Araw ng Kagitingan and Maundy Thursday fall on that day.

“If you report to work, you are entitled to 300% of your daily wage rate,” NWPC said.
Employees whose rest day falls on April 9 and have to work during the holiday would receive 390% pay.
Workers who would take the night shift during the double holiday would receive 330% and those who would hold overtime during the double holiday would receive 390% pay.
On the other hand, there is also a corresponding additional pay for those who would take the night shift and work overtime on April 9.
Here are the sample computations of a double holiday pay according to DOLE’s 2010 Handbook on Worker’s Statutory Monetary Benefits.
| Work on | Pay equals | X (hourly rate) |
| Double holiday | 300% or 3 |
|
| Double holiday falling on rest day | 390% or 3.9 |
|
| Double holiday, night shift | 3 x 1.1 = 3.3 or 330% |
|
| Double holiday, rest day, night shift | 3.9 x 1.1 = 4.29 or 429% |
|
| Double holiday, overtime | 3 x 1.3 = 3.9 or 390% |
|
| Double holiday, rest day, overtime | 3.9 x 1.3 = 5.07 or 507% |
|
| Double holiday, night shift, overtime | 3 x 1.1 x 1.3 = 4.29 |
|
| Double holiday, rest day, night shift, OT 3.9 | x 1.1 x 1.3 = 5.577 266.30 |
