A lawmaker reiterated Wednesday his call to scrap the 2012 executive order (EO) on the suspension of classes and work in government offices based on public storm warnings. Currently, class suspensions are based on EO 66 issued by former President Benigno Aquino III in 2012. The bill also empowers Malacañang and other authorities to suspend classes and work at Storm Signal No. Classes from pre-school to high school are suspended in affected areas when Signal No. Classes in all levels, including graduate school, and work in all government offices are suspended in affected areas when Signal No.
