Malacañang issued on Thursday Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 32 suspending work in government offices under the Executive branch from 3:00 p.m. onwards on Monday, Sept. 25, in connection with the observance of Family Week.

“This Office also encourages all government workers in the Executive branch to fully support the programs and activities relative to the observance of Family Week, as organized by the National Committee on the Filipino Family,” read the memo signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin.

“The suspension of work in all branches of government, in independent commissions or bodies, and in the private sector is encouraged, so as to afford all Filipino families the full opportunity to celebrate the 31st National Family Week.”
