NATIONAL Economic and Development Authority Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua urged the government on Tuesday, March 15, to impose a four-day workweek to conserve energy and alleviate the public’s costs on related expenses amid the increasing prices of fuel products.
“Siguro subukan natin ‘yung conservation of energy at isa sa halimbawa dito ay ‘yung four-day workweek. Magta-trabaho pa rin po ang bawat Pilipino ng 40 hours per week pero imbes na sa limang araw, ay apat na araw. Imbes na walong oras, magiging sampung oras kada araw,” he said. “Ang epekto nito ay makakatipid din, imbes na araw-araw magko-commute, ay magiging apat na araw. Ito ay makakatulong din sa pag-manage ng ekonomiya natin,” he added.
“We also support the panukala na four-day workweek at tsaka ‘yung pankulala na palawigin muna natin ang work-from-home para sa ganon po mabawasan ang pagbiyahe ng ating mga mamamayan,” he said.
