Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon said people should always assume that there will be daily classes unless a class suspension is announced due to bad weather.
Based on the school calendar issued by the Department of Education (DepEd), classes started on June 16 and will officially end on March 31 or a total of 197 school days.
“Sa loob ng panahon na iyon, mayroong kabuuan na 197 school days na kailangan pumasok ang mga bata sa paaralan, binawas na ang mga weekend, mga official na regular at special holidays. Ibig sabihin niyan, maliban sa mga official na holidays, asahan na natin na may pasok sa eskwela araw araw (During that period, there are a total of 197 school days that children must attend school, excluding weekends, official regular and special holidays. That means, except for official holidays, expect school to be in session every day),” he posted on Facebook.

He added the only exception to this is when there is a declaration of suspension of classes due to typhoons or other unusual reasons.
“Kaya huwag niyo na po akong abangan mag declare kung may pasok ba. Assume na lang na automatic may pasok, ayon sa calendar ng DepEd. Ang ide-deklara ko lang ay yung suspension na kadalasan ay dahil sa sama ng panahon (So don't wait for me to declare whether there will be classes. Just assume that there will be classes automatically, according to the DepEd calendar. I will declare only the suspension, which is usually due to bad weather),” he added.
The mayor said they are always focused on reports from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and the Muntinlupa City Department of Disaster Resilience and Management.
“Ang pinagbabatayan natin ay scientific data, analysis at observation of the situation on the ground (Our basis is scientific data, analysis, and observation of the situation on the ground),” he added.
There are 197 school days for school year 2025 to 2026, according to DepEd (Photo from Mayor Biazon / DepEd)
