The government is carefully studying the proposal to move the school “summer” break to March due to hot weather, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said Monday.
The President made the statement in an interview with broadcaster Erwin Tulfo, who asked if the government would bring back the school vacation to March instead of having it from June to July.
Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III on Monday urged the government and employers to suspend work during the hottest period of the day. He added that the break should not mean extending work hours and should be considered part of their rendered service. Mr. Marcos said the World Health Organization is still considering the coronavirus as a health emergency.
Among those that must be covered by temporary work suspension are construction workers, street sweepers, and traffic enforcers, Pimentel added.
