PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday said Malacañang and the Department of Education (DepEd) would 'decide very soon' on whether to return the school break to March.

Several lawmakers and other stakeholders are calling on the DepEd to go back to the old June-to-March academic calendar to spare students from the scorching heat during the dry months.
