ILOILO CITY—The Iloilo City government will adopt a four-day work week amid a steep increase in oil prices.
Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas announced on Thursday morning that City Hall employees will be on the four-day schedule starting two weeks from now.
He cited this work schedule as suggested by National Economic Development Authority Director-General Karl Kendrick Chua.
“This will give our employees time to adjust their schedules both in work and in their homes,” Treñas said in a statement.
He said the city government will utilize its modern jeepneys to ferry employees between district public plazas and City Hall daily.
