There will be no classes in schools for the 28th anniversary of the People Power Revolution on February 25.
But employees in government and private offices have to report for work because they are not covered by the suspension order of the Palace.
The People Power Revolution in 1986 led to the ouster of former President Ferdinand Marcos and the rise to the presidency of the late President Corazon Aquino.
President Benigno Aquino III, meanwhile, will head to Cebu to celebrate the event with communities devastated by super typhoon Yolanda.
"The President said it was important to rally people in areas affected by calamities in order to rekindle the spirit of EDSA People Power in rebuilding better communities. Hence the original plan to hold the event in Malacañang was shelved," Herminio Coloma, Jr., the presidential communications chief, said.--Source: Philstar
