The Senate suspended work on January 13 due to the INC rally, resuming sessions on January 14 at 3 p.m., excluding certain personnel.

In Cagayan de Oro City, Mayor Rolando Uy ordered the suspension of classes in public elementary and high schools, as well as work in city government offices, for the INC national peace rally.
Mobile phone and internet signals will be temporarily disrupted in Cagayan de Oro City as part of security measures for the rally, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
