Lawmaker pushes WFH setup amid heat

CAMARINES Sur 2nd District Rep. Luis Raymund Villafuerte Jr. urged the public and private sector to consider reverting to a work-from-home (WFH) setup whenever and wherever feasible to protect workers from the impact of extreme heat.

Villafuerte said that Republic Act (RA) 11165 or the Telecommuting Act of 2018, which he co-authored, 'allows employers in the private sector to adopt WFH arrangements for their employees with the use of telecommunications and/or computer technologies, instead of having workers report to their respective offices on a daily basis.'
