00:00Some employees of the government in Metro Manila
00:03favor their entry early to reduce the traffic.
00:07President Marcos will be there tomorrow in Panucala.
00:10But according to the Civil Service Commission,
00:12there are still a lot of things to consider.
00:14Katrina Son has a report.
00:20To reduce the heavy traffic in Metro Manila,
00:23the MMDA's recommendation is
00:25for government employees to enter Metro Manila
00:28from 8am to 5pm.
00:30Early, from 7am to 4pm.
00:33President Bongbong Marcos is already studying this.
00:56And when it is announced that it will be better for everyone,
01:00the president does not see a problem in implementing this.
01:04We consulted the government employees
01:07if they favor the MMDA's recommendation.
01:10Some of the people we talked to said
01:12that it is better for them to go home early.
01:16It's okay because I'm just near home.
01:19It's just down there.
01:22It's not my fault because I woke up early.
01:26Aside from this, they also don't mind traffic.
01:29It's okay, sir.
01:31If that's the solution to reduce the traffic,
01:33why not?
01:35You can adjust for an hour.
01:37You can enter earlier and go home earlier.
01:41So there will be less traffic.
01:43According to the Civil Service Commission,
01:46there are a lot of things to consider
01:48before the work schedule of the government employees is adjusted.
01:53There are a lot of circulars
01:57addressed to all government agencies.
01:59Number one, the core working hours of the government
02:04are 8am to 5pm.
02:07It means that there should be people
02:10in the government office from 8am to 5pm.
