The Senate of the Philippines has suspended work on Oct. 31 to give its employees more time to observe All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day.  

"Upon the instruction of Senate President Francis "Chiz" Escudero, Senate employees need not to report to work on Thursday, 31 October 2024, in order to give the officers and staff of the Senate more time to observe All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day," the Senate advisory read.

Meanwhile, personnel of the Office of the Sergeant-At-Arms and Maintenance and General Services Bureau on duty are required to report for work on those days.

Malacañang has declared All Saints' Day on Nov. 1 and All Souls' Day on Nov. 2 as special non-working days.

The Palace has also suspended work in government offices and classes at all levels from noon onwards on Oct. 31, 2024, to allow employees to travel to and from the provinces to observe Undas. — Mariel Celine Serquiña/ VDV, GMA Integrated News
