TACLOBAN CITY – The local government has announced the suspension of afternoon classes and government work on March 27, allowing residents more time to prepare for Holy Week observances.
Mayor Alfred Romualdez signed Executive Order No. 2024-03-13 on Monday, temporarily halting classes at all levels and government operations in the city from 12 p.m. onwards on March 27.
The city government of Tacloban recognizes the significance of preparing for Holy Week, and as such, it is essential that all constituents of the city be given ample time to prepare,” Romualdez said in his directive.
The order, the mayor said, would give the people the full opportunity to celebrate Holy Week with their families and loved ones.
The suspension of work for all private entities, companies, and institutions in the city on March 27 will be discretionary of the management.
Exempted from the directive are those engaged in the maintenance of peace, order, emergency responders, health, traffic, and disaster management. (PNA)
