EDSA Rehabilitation: Metro Manila Businesses Urged to Adopt Work-From-Home Options

Metro Manila braces for EDSA traffic as rehabilitation begins. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is urging businesses to consider work-from-home options for their employees to ease the expected traffic congestion. The MMDA has released traffic advisories and suggested alternative routes. "We're encouraging companies to allow work-from-home arrangements," said a DOLE representative. One commuter, Rena Canete, shared, "I'll have to leave for work much earlier." The EDSA rehabilitation project is expected to cause significant disruptions, prompting the DOLE's proactive approach to minimize the impact on businesses and workers. The government is also considering the implementation of an odd-even number plate scheme to manage traffic flow.
