However, this may still change. Last year, Malacañang suspended the work in all government offices on the afternoon of October 31 to allow them to travel for the “Undas” break.
As reported by the Inquirer (author Daphne Galvez), the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has granted 885 special permits to public utility buses (PUBs) to cater to many passengers that will be traveling during the All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.
