00:00 Now, all industries are again open.
00:03 Some groups are encouraging to end the work from home scheme that started during the pandemic
00:08 so that the economy can flourish.
00:10 We have a report from Ivan Mayrina.
00:12 Work from home.
00:21 Three words were used during the pandemic.
00:23 And in the past years, it has become a part of the operation of many industries.
00:28 But if the private sector advisory council lead for jobs, Joey Concepcion, is asking,
00:33 work from home should also be ended along with the pandemic.
00:37 If we work from home, what will happen in the Philippines?
00:42 There will be less mobility.
00:44 If there is less mobility, there is less consumption.
00:48 No one will ride in the bus, in the jeepney.
00:52 No one will eat outside.
00:54 Everyone will eat at home.
00:56 And no one will buy clothes for the office.
01:00 This is also the opinion of many businessmen according to the Employers Confederation of the Philippines.
01:05 You're paying them to go to office.
01:07 During the pandemic, it was okay.
01:09 But many people thought that it will be a trend.
01:14 I don't think so.
01:16 Because if people can afford to work from home, that will reduce the number of people.
01:19 But according to Cathy Rinco, who also worked from home since the pandemic,
01:24 instead of slowing down the economy,
01:26 this will be more sustainable, like what happened to her.
01:30 That's when the people who work from home will enter at the same time.
01:34 I'm like that. I jumped from work from home to business at the same time.
01:40 Cathy and I have talked about it.
01:43 The expenses of those who work from home are still continuing.
01:45 There are online shopping.
01:47 So those who work from home, they also spend by buying online.
01:51 Of course, even if you work from home, you still spend, especially for your family, not just for yourself.
01:56 Now, the economy is returning to normal.
01:58 Many companies are returning to the pre-pandemic 100% on-site, face-to-face setup for employers.
02:04 They say it's easier for them to monitor their employees.
02:07 And productivity is better when you physically enter the workplace.
02:11 Some sectors are also saying that the economy is still over, the work from home.
02:15 But for those who are trying work from home, they continue to expect this.
02:19 Because there are more hours for the family, instead of being in traffic to enter and leave the office.
