Citing Proclamation 655 series of 2013, Presidential Communications Operations Office head Herminio Coloma Jr., in an interview on dzRB, said: “(W)alang pasok sa lahat ng paaralan, lahat ng antas at ito ay isang regular working day.
The EDSA-1 Revolution ousted then President Ferdinand Marcos and installed Aquino’s late mother Corazon to the presidency.
But Coloma said this year’s commemoration will be unique as it will be held outside Metro Manila, with the traditional “Salubungan” in Cebu.
He said Cebu had been the bulwark of the opposition during the Marcos administration.
It was also where the late former President Corazon Aquino, then the opposition’s presidential bet, was staying when the military withdrew support for Marcos.
Aquino itinerary
On Tuesday, Coloma said, Aquino will go to Cateel, Davao Oriental to check on the progress of rehabilitation work there in the wake of Typhoon Pablo in December 2011.
He said Aquino will then head for Loon town in Bohol in Central Visayas for a town hall-style meeting.
Aquino is also scheduled to visit Cebu province’s Bantayan Island, one of the areas where super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) made landfall.
He will also head to Guiuan in Eastern Samar and in Tanauan in Leyte in Eastern Visayas and inspect the Department of Health’s project in Tacloban City. — LBG, GMA News
