Ramadan 2027 in Philippines
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 1 city.
How Philippines decides
Philippines's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
The National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) coordinates local moon-sighting reports, mainly from Mindanao, to announce Ramadan's start. The Philippines started Ramadan March 2, 2025 and February 19, 2026, matching its Southeast Asian neighbors rather than Saudi Arabia.
