Jocelyn Andaya, DepEd-National Capital Region (NCR) director and concurrent officer-in-charge in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Operations, said the two-day suspension of face-to-face classes is necessary to ensure the continuity of learning while prioritizing the health and safety of students.

“To provide time for disinfection, sanitation and building inspection, all face-to-face classes in public schools in the National Capital Region are suspended on Oct. 13 to 14, 2025,” Andaya said.
