Iloilo City Hall back to 5-day workweek

I LOILO Ci t y – C i t y government employees returned to the regular fiveday workweek schedule yesterday.

They want this setup, said Mayor Jerry Treñas who ordered a four-day workweek in March due to fuel price hikes. The shortened days of work aimed t o help employees save money.

The city government also tapped modern jeepneys to ferry its employees from the district plazas ( as pickup points) to the city hall and back every day.

B u t t h e R e s o u r c e Employees Association of City Hall (REACH) asked for the return of the 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. work schedule.

The four- day workweek setup was recommended by the National Economic and Development Authority.

With this work scheme, the city government had hoped to save electricity and less traffic congestion.

“B u t a n g may o r y a gusto na nga mabalik kita

five- day workweek kay amo ni naandan sang aton pumoluyo,”

It’s back to the regular five working days at the Iloilo City Hall. The four-day workweek is over for its employees. The five-day workweek is “amo ni naandan sang aton pumoluyo” that are transacting at city hall, says Mayor Jerry Treñas.
