Ping, Sinuportahan ang Pagpapalawig ng WFH, 4-day Workweek

Nagpahayag ng suporta si Senador Ping Lacson sa panawagan ng Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector na palawigin ang kanilang work-from-home (WFH) setup sa kabila ng patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng langis at pamasahe.

Para kay Lacson, bagama’t kailangang buksan muli ang ekonomiya, dapat ding bigyan pansin ng gobyerno ang pagtaas na presyo ng bilihin na pasan ng ordinaryong manggagawa.

“Ang hiling ng BPO sector na palawigin ang WFH from April to September, sinususugan ko po yan dahil maraming nagsara na mga opisina nila at gusto nilang magpatuloy ang WFH. At meron tayong Telecommuting Act,” ani Lacson sa kauna-unahang presidential debate na inorganisa ng Comelec nitong Sabado ng gabi.

Lacson Backs Workers’ Calls for Flexibility to Extend WFH, Workweek Setup

Citing high fuel and transportation costs especially amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson took up the cudgels for the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector in its call to extend the work-from-home (WFH) setup for employees in call centers.

Lacson, who is running for President under Partido Reporma, said that while the government needs to reopen the economy, it must take into account the plight of ordinary workers coping with higher costs of living due to high fuel prices.

“Ang hiling ng BPO sector na palawigin ang WFH from April to September, sinususugan ko po yan dahil maraming nagsara na mga opisina nila at gusto nilang magpatuloy ang WFH. At meron tayong Telecommuting Act (I support the BPO sector’s call to extend WFH setup from April to September, because their offices had closed during the pandemic and they want to continue the WFH setup. Besides, we already have the Telecommuting Act),” he said at the Commission on Elections’ First Presidential Debate Saturday evening.

Sen. Ping Lacson’s Closing Statement at the Comelec’s First Presidential Debate 2022

Mula sa pagiging sundalo at alagad ng batas na lumaban sa terorismo, rebeldeng komunista at pusakal na kriminal; bilang Chief PNP na nagpatino at naglinis ng hanay ng kapulisan; bilang Senador na kailanman hindi nabahiran ng korapsyon, nais ko pong ipagpatuloy na magsilbi sa ating bayan.

Among all the Presidential aspirants — narito man o laging absent — walang sinuman kundi ako ang sadya at aktwal na nagsugal ng sariling buhay sa pagligtas sa panganib ng sinuman.

It takes a leader who is competent, qualified and experienced, to turn the promises of Unity, Bilis Aksyon, Angat Buhay into reality. Kailangan natin ng Pangulo na handang ipaglaban kayong lahat para ipanalo ang sambayanang Pilipino.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.

On the President’s Power to Replace 3 Retiring Comelec Commissioners

Unfortunately, our Constitution gives the President the sole power to appoint the commissioners of the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

That said, the appointees are subject to the confirmation of Congress through the Commission on Appointments, where the voice of the people may be represented as “oppositors,” aimed at possible rejection of the appointees of nominees.

In this sense, the CA is the only check and balance available to the people.
