Nag-isyu si dating Vice President at ngayo’y Naga City Mayor Leni Robredo ng isang executive order (EO) kaugnay sa implementasyon ng “compressed workweek policy” sa kaniyang nasasakupan.

Ito ay tugon sa mas mahigpit na “energy” at “fuel conservation measures” ng bawat lokal na pamahalaan bilang sagot sa tumataas na presyo ng produktong petrolyo, bunga ng walang-humpay na tensyon sa rehiyon ng Gitnang Silangan.

Sa ibinahaging anunsyo ni Mayor Leni sa kaniyang Facebook page nitong Huwebes, Marso 12, mababasa ang ilan sa mga probisyon ng nasabing order.

“Under the order, all city government offices will adopt a four-day workweek from Monday to Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., allowing a full shutdown of most administrative offices on Fridays to reduce electricity and fuel consumption,” mababasa sa post.

“The policy was issued amid projected fuel price hikes, with the Department of Energy warning of possible increases of up to ₱24.25 per liter for diesel and ₱13 per liter for gasoline due to global market volatility and tensions in the Middle East,” dagdag pa nito.

Gayumpaman, nilinaw ni Robredo na magpapatuloy ang operasyon ng essential frontline services—adjusted man o 24-hour duty rotations.

Ilan sa mga ito ay ang mga sumusunod: Naga City General Hospital, City Health Offices, Naga City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, Public Safety Office, Solid Waste Management Office, at ang Bicol Central Station.

“The order also mandates stricter vehicle use policies such as mandatory carpooling, centralized dispatch of city vehicles, travel restrictions for non-essential trips, and a 'no-idle’ rule for government drivers,” anang order.

“Offices are likewise directed to implement energy-saving measures, including limiting air-conditioning use, reducing lighting, and activating power-saving modes in office equipment, as part of the city’s target to cut electricity consumption by at least 25 percent,” pagtatapos nito.

Ilan din sa mga lokal na pamahalaan na nag-abiso ng “compressed workweek” ay ang Cebu at Manila local government unit (LGU).
