MANILA LGU SUSPENDS CLASSES ON NOV. 17, 18 DUE TO INC RALLY
9 November 2025
MANILA Mayor Isko Moreno has ordered the suspension of face-to-face classes in all public and private schools in the city on November 17 and 18 to give way to the peaceful rally of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) at Luneta.
He said all schools in Manila are advised to shift to the Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) during the two-day suspension.
“I am ordering the suspension of face-to-face classes in all levels on November 17 and 18. All schools are advised to implement the Alternative Delivery Mode or ADM,” the mayor said.
Moreno added that the city government will provide “perimeter support,” including traffic, parking, police, and medical assistance throughout the event to ensure order and public safety around the Luneta area.
“While we know that the INC is very organized whenever it holds a rally, the City Government of Manila will deploy teams to monitor and provide assistance outside Rizal Park,” he said.
The mayor also said the Manila Police District will secure the outer perimeter and nearby streets, while traffic enforcers from the Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau will be deployed to manage vehicular flow during the three-day event.
