Suspension of Face-to-Face Classes on October 13-14, 2025

The Department of Education–National Capital Region (DepEd NCR) has announced the suspension of face-to-face classes in all public schools across Metro Manila on October 13–14, 2025, following the rise in influenza-like illnesses among students and personnel, as well as the recent series of earthquakes that have affected various parts of the country.

Ensuring Safety and Learning Continuity

In its official advisory, DepEd NCR emphasized that the suspension aims to ensure the health, safety, and structural integrity of public schools while maintaining continuity of education.

During the two-day suspension, schools are directed to shift to Alternative Delivery Modalities (ADM) — either synchronous or asynchronous — in line with DepEd Order No. 54, s. 2012, to avoid disruption in the learning process.
