The Philippines is currently at a very critical point in the response to COVID-19 pandemic. We, as a nation, need everyone to get involved in this immense effort to keep our country, more so, the world safe. In this regard, would like to respectfully ask our constituents in the business community to share with us their best practices on flexible work arrangements,  additional paid leaves during quarantine, or even paying full wage during work reductions. We need these stories to show that companies care for their workers and their best interest in mind during these difficult times.

We would appreciate getting salient features of your policies and practices by Friday, 20 March 2020. Please send them to:
