Important Reminder on Republic Act No. 10743

The public is reminded that under Republic Act No. 10743, October 5 is officially designated as National Teachers' Day and a special working holiday. Because it is a working holiday, class suspensions are not implemented automatically on a nationwide scale.

Suspensions rely strictly on the discretion of specific LGU executive orders or official directives from school administrations. Students and parents in areas not included in the list above should assume that regular classes will proceed unless a local advisory is issued.
