Special (non-working) holiday in Metro Manila, Bulacan, and Pampanga on November 13-15, and no classes from November 16-17, 2017 in Metro Manila.
READ several updates below.
In a Facebook post by Presidential Security Group, it announced that "In line with the upcoming 31st ASEAN Summit on 12-15 November 2017, classes and work in Metro Manila are suspended on said dates." Is it confirmed or not? I tried to search the internet for the Proclamation of holidays on the said dates, but I can't find any. So, I guess, we still have to wait for the official proclamation if the said dates are really a holiday in Metro Manila.
Below is the Facebook post:
