Solon urges FIRB to reconsider on-site work for BPOs

MANILA - A party-list representative on Thursday pushed for the continuation of the work-from-home arrangement for employees of business process outsourcing (BPO) companies in special economic zones. ACT-CIS Rep. Nina Taduran urged the Fiscal Incentives Review Board (FIRB) to reconsider its ultimatum requiring BPO workers to physically report to work by April 1. Taduran noted that although BPOs in special economic zones are covered by Republic Act 7916 or the Special Economic Zone Act of 1995, requiring all registered companies to operate within the ecozones to enjoy tax incentives, incentives must still be available as long as the head office of a BPO firm remains within a Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA)-administered building or facility. "Furthermore, we have a Telecommuting law, which is effective for the entire country, and that includes the special economic zones," she said. Republic Act 11165 also known as the "Telecommuting Act" refers to a "wo ....

FIRB urged to reconsider non-extension of BPO WFH scheme

(File photo) MANILA - Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda on Thursday urged the Fiscal Incentives Review Board (FIRB) to temporarily lift its ultimatum requiring business process outsourcing (BPO) workers to physically report to work by April 1. In a statement, Legarda said the work from home (WFH) arrangement has proven to be effective to minimize health risks and prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) without hurting the economy. "Even with the WFH arrangement, the Philippine economy was able to survive in the last two years, and thanks to the growing number of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the country, our economic activity is now more active than ever. We believe the WFH arrangement can sustain this momentum," she said. Legarda said this remote setup would also help around 1.3 million BPO workers to cope with rising fuel prices and transportation costs, affording them the same mitigating opportunities given to other sectors affected by the cur ....
