菲律宾教育部长Sonny Angara于4月16日签署了2026年第009号教育部令，正式将2026-2027学年公立学校的开学日期定为6月8日（星期一），并将实行已获批准的三学期制日历政策，私立学校可免于执行此规定。
在马尼拉，菲律宾教育部在完成政策建议、利益相关方审批以及对私立学校灵活性的说明后，最终确定了2026-2027学年公立学校的校历。课程将于2026年6月8日开始，至2027年4月8日结束，三个学期共计201个教学日，并可根据突发情况进行调整。
Angara表示：“该学年将包含201个教学日，从第一学期的第一天到第三学期的最后一天。如因不可预见的情况需调整校历，将通过后续发布的文件进行。”
这一架构此前被规划为6月至9月、9月至12月以及1月至3月，旨在通过广泛的磋商和公立学校领导的背书，促进持续学习、延长教学时长、减轻教师工作负担并实现教育公平。私立学校、州立大学、学院以及菲律宾海外学校（服务超过25000名学生）可自行采纳该政策，但必须确保学年教学天数达到200至220天。
Private schools are free to adopt their own calendar structures, Education Secretary Sonny Angara said, following statements from the Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations that private schools need not follow the three-term school calendar.
