MANILA, Philippines — There is no official declaration of non-working days in Manila for the 31st ASEAN summit and related meetings in November.
In an advisory sent to reporters on Wednesday, Malacañang said: “On ASEAN holiday. No official issuance yet. Will post once provided.”
The Palace issued the statement after a photo of a memorandum declaring a “special non-working holiday” on November 13-15 surfaced on social media.
The document was supposedly issued by the Office of the President.
