Exec Sec Ralph Recto debunks fake memo on work suspension

Executive Secretary Ralph Recto has debunked a circulating memorandum that falsely claims work suspension in government offices on December 26 and 29.

The fake memorandum, supposedly Memorandum Circular No. 47, stated that the suspension was to allow employees more family time during the holidays.

The fabricated memo also included justifications about promoting work-life balance and supporting public servants' well-being, while noting that essential services would continue operations.
