The city government of Manila announced the suspension of work starting at 3PM on Monday, September 23 to allow families to engage in meaningful activities during the 32nd National Family Week.
Mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan signed Executive Order No. 31 to implement this suspension.
This measure aligns with Proclamation No. 60, which designates the last week of September as Family Week.
Malacañang previously declared that all Executive branch offices would also suspend operations at the same time for this celebration.
The fourth Monday of September is recognized as “Kainang Pamilya Mahalaga” Day under Proclamation No. 326.
Essential services, including health and disaster response, will continue without interruption during this period.
The memorandum encourages other government branches and private sectors to follow suit.
