Government and generally work in the covered locality is suspended/treated as non-working for the declared day, subject to laws and regulations on essential services and existing exemptions.
It applies only to a specific locality—Kabasalan, Zamboanga Sibugay—because it expressly “declare[s]” the day “in the Municipality of Kabasalan.”
By its formal heading, declaration language, signature block stating office and authority, and the seal/“In witness whereof” language.
It was done in the City of Manila on October 6, 2016.

It means work is generally not required/suspended; scheduled work would typically be moved unless covered by exceptions such as essential services.
The proclamation clearly addresses the locality and declares the day non-working in that municipality; however, the extent to which private employers must comply can still depend on applicable labor rules, advisories, and whether their operations are covered by exceptions for essential/continuous services.
