Malacañang orders the suspension of work in government offices beginning at 1 p.m. on September 28 to observe the 34th National Family Week. The Presidential Communications Office announces the half-day schedule, encouraging government employees and their families to participate in family-week programs and activities.
The suspension applies to offices across the Executive branch, including all government agencies and instrumentalities. It also covers government-owned or -controlled corporations and state universities and colleges. The order is issued through Memorandum Circular No. 136, which sets the basis for the observance. Both outlets report the same timing and purpose, with brief differences limited to phrasing and the level of detail provided.
