Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 22) — Work in Quezon City courts will be suspended at 1 p.m. on Monday, July 24 in anticipation of heavy traffic in the city due to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s State of the Nation Address at the Batasang Pambansa.
This is according to a memorandum by the Supreme Court’s Office of the Court Administrator dated July 21.
“All branches and offices shall ensure that all court users are properly notified of the work suspension and should continue to function virtually through their respective official email accounts and contact numbers,” the memorandum read.
It added that “if possible, a skeleton staff should be maintained by the courts/offices to address or attend to urgent matters or concerns of court users during the rest of the day.”
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority will implement a zipper lane on the southbound portions of Commonwealth Avenue to give way to vehicles of government officials and guests going to the Batasang Pambansa Complex.
