In the Philippines, Deepavali, or Diwali, is celebrated by the country's Hindu communities, especially among Filipinos of Indian descent and expatriates. While it's not a public holiday nationwide, people are still very aware of this joyful moment and still exchange Deepavali wishes and greetings to each other.

Although not a nationwide public holiday, certain regions or communities with a significant Hindu population observe it with various traditions that blend Filipino and Indian cultural elements. They usually gather together to celebrate, while special events are held in the temples.

The Filipinos that celebrate Deepavali often create Rangoli (a patterned art, usually put on the floor or tabletop) at the entrance of their homes. Some regions also make it more festive by adding fireworks and sparklers at night.
