'Work-from-home should continue for now'

SORSOGON Gov. Francis Joseph "Chiz" Escudero urged the government to reconsider its order for employees of business process outsourcing (BPO) centers to return to their offices by April 1 because of the skyrocketing cost of fuel.

"At first, Covid-19 was our enemy — and the threat of the virus is still there — but now the weekly increase in oil prices and the looming rise in commodity prices seem to be a bigger threat," Escudero said.
