MANILA, Philippines — Bureau of Immigration offices in Metro Manila will operate with fewer personnel and on shortened hours during the Enhanced Community Quarantine period, but Commissioner Jaime Morente said transactions will continue through slots secured online.

In a statement on Tuesday, the bureau said Immigration offices in the National Capital Region shall maintain a skeleton workforce of at least 30% up to 50% of their original capacity starting August 6.

Work hours meanwhile will start at 8 a.m. and end at 4 p.m., instead of 5:00 p.m., Morente added.
