Continuing query. Here’s that friendly short note : “Hi _ _ _! Thank you for your email. i will be monitoring the Live proceedings of the ASEAN Summit in connection with the Philippine lead to make a final push for the approval of the Code of Conduct on the South China Sea: China and its allies sit at the table of these negotiations and will exert all the might of a superpower to resist the Philippine push. This affects all of us in the immediate and in the long term, it might be the last make-or-break because the outcome of 2028 is not certain.  There is also a looming shooting war in the Luzon Strait northern part between Batanes and Taiwan in 2028, in which everyone has a stake.

“In this connection, i  was wondering if we are required to report for work in the office or Room ____   November 16, 2026 and on November 17, 2026? Would rank-and-file employees (e.g. B_ _ _) be also required to report for work on those days?

“Marami pong salamat and i hope you can give some guidance on the matter.

“Thanks, thanks.

-marichu “
