TACLOBAN CITY — Just over a month after restoring the regular five-day workweek, the Biliran provincial government will revert to a four-day work schedule beginning Monday, July 13, due to unstable fuel prices and the looming increase in electricity rates across Eastern Visayas, Governor Rogelio Espina said.
The compressed workweek is intended to reduce fuel consumption by cutting employees’ commuting days while maintaining uninterrupted public service through longer daily office hours.
Under Memorandum No. 0048-2026, signed on July 8, all provincial capitol offices will operate from Monday to Thursday, with office hours from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., allowing employees to complete the required 40-hour workweek.
