Government, class suspensions on October 31
MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang has suspended work in government offices and classes in all levels nationwide from 12 p.m. onwards on Oct. 31 to provide state employees full opportunity to properly observe All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.

Agencies whose functions involve the delivery of basic and health services, preparedness or response to disasters and calamities, and/or the performance of other vital service, however, are not covered by the order.
The suspension of work for private companies and offices, meanwhile, is left to the discretion of their respective heads, the memo read.
