Filipinos were divided in their opinions on the four-day workweek, according to Mark Salazar’s Friday “24 Oras” report.
Jonathan Tomagan, who works in an IT firm, agreed with Tessa Mae: “Kung 10 hours ‘yan, sa Ortigas ako nagtatrabaho… ’Yung oras ng byahe ko two and a half hours parang uuwi lang ako sa bahay para matulog tapos alis agad”.“Mas maigi po kasi mas mahaba ang oras sa pamilya… Mas mahaba ang day-off para magawa mo ang gusto mong gawin,” Loida Monda, a therapist, said.
The new setup likewise resulted in better physical and mental health for workers while the companies did not see any changes in their productivity. Of the 61 companies involved in the experiment, 56 said they would continue with the four-day workweek. ECOP President Sergio Ortiz-Luis said discussing the four-day workweek was “ill-timed” as the country’s industries were just starting to get back on their feet from the effect of the coronavirus pandemic.
