President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has directed government offices to implement a four-day onsite work arrangement starting March 9, 2026, to reduce energy and fuel consumption amid rising Middle East tensions. Malacañang subsequently issued Memorandum Circular (MC) 114, providing details on the directive, which will remain in effect until lifted by the President.

Adjustments to work arrangements, whether in government offices or private companies, highlight the ongoing importance of adhering to Philippine rules and regulations these include: labor laws, immigration requirements, tax obligations, and corporate reporting and government compliance requirements.
