MANILA, Philippines- Malacañang on Friday welcomed suggestions from business groups to adopt a work-from-home (WFH) setup to reduce fuel consumption and ease the impact of rising oil prices.

Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said Malacañang viewed the proposal as “helpful” but would leave the decision to private companies.

"If that will be the proposal of private business companies, that will be a big help," Castro said during a press conference. 

"Of course, the President will not dictate on private companies," she added.
