The city government issued Proclamation No. 1, Series of 2025, suspending classes and mandating a skeletal workforce in all national and local offices, including government-owned and -controlled corporations.
The Davao City Council passed Resolution No. 04022-25 on Jan. 7 requesting city Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte to issue a skeletal workforce arrangement for city government employees to help ease traffic. However, the city government requested INC to reduce the number to 300,000 to enable the city to accommodate participants.
Public Safety and Security Office head Angel Sumagaysay said class and work suspension will help manage traffic and ensure the convenience of the people, especially those working or studying within the event areas.
