""If a worker's physical presence or activity is not required at the workplace, why not just have them report online? For instance, those in office roles like planning, research, admin, customer service, and other similar jobs can work from home.""
""I've noticed that the number of stranded passengers on the streets seems to be increasing these days because fewer PUVs (public utility vehicles) are operating due to the high cost of fuel.""

The Philippine government is promoting remote work arrangements as transportation costs rise due to escalating global oil prices linked to the Middle East conflict. Senator Erwin Tulfo has urged the government to consider reinstating remote work, citing its success during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tulfo emphasizes the need for remote work to ease financial burdens on workers, especially as fuel costs impact public transportation and commuting.
