MANILA, Philippines — Classes in public and private schools will be suspended in the National Capital Region (NCR) and the Province of Occidental Mindoro on specified dates next week following separate presidential proclamations declaring special non-working days.

Under Proclamation No. 1447, November 16 to 18, 2026 (Monday to Wednesday), have been declared special non-working days throughout Metro Manila in connection with the country's hosting of the 49th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits.

The three-day declaration aims to ease traffic congestion and ensure the safety and security of delegates and participants attending the international event.
