Mayor Garcia: I have no basis to declare suspension of classes, works on February 25
Cebu City Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia stated there was no basis for him to declare a suspension of classes and work for the 39th Edsa People Power Revolution anniversary on February 25.
Garcia explained that his decision was influenced by the absence of any recommendations from disaster agencies and existing communication from national government regarding the holiday.
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. had previously declared February 25 a special working holiday through Proclamation 727.
Unlike in previous years where it might have been a non-working day or moved for a long weekend, the Edsa anniversary in 2025 fell on a Tuesday, making it a special working holiday.
