MANILA Mayor Isko Moreno  has issued an executive order suspending all classes and work in city government offices on Friday.

This is in observance of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 727 signed by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on October 30, 2024, which declared certain dates as regular holidays and special (non-working) days nationwide.

Under the order, classes at all levels—both public and private—are suspended effective 12:00 a.m. of October 31, 2025.

“All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day are solemn occasions deeply rooted in Filipino culture and tradition,” the Mayor said.

“The suspension will allow Manileños sufficient time to travel, prepare, and honor their departed loved ones,” he added.

Work in departments, bureaus, and offices of the City Government of Manila is likewise suspended on the same date and time.

However, essential services such as health, peace and order, disaster response, and traffic management will remain fully operational.
