Malacañang has suspended classes on Tuesday at all levels in Metro Manila. Roque said the decision to suspend classes outside Metro Manila was left “to the sound discretion of local government units (LGUs). ADVERTISEMENT“The President has instructed that he will suspend classes even with the slightest threat of a strike to ensure the protection and well-being of students,” he said. “We reiterate that the government remains steadfast to modernize our public utility vehicles and will not be bullied or held hostage by some transport groups,” he added. Malacañang also suspended classes in Metro Manila on Monday due to the transport strike.
