MANILA, Philippines — Sens. Risa Hontiveros and Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan have joined calls urging the government to allow call center workers to continue their work-from-home set-up, amid rising transport costs driven by sustained fuel price hikes. 

 

The Fiscal Incentives Review Board (FIRB) earlier moved to refuse the extension of work-from-home arrangements of business processing outsourcing (BPO) employees, citing that such a set-up was a "temporary measure" adopted during the height of the pandemic. 

 

This means Information Technology-Business Process Management (IT-BPM) companies located in tax perks-giving economic zones can only continue remote work for 90% of their workforce until March 31, a deadline which the industry wanted to extend to September 12 this year.
