The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board will adopt a compressed work schedule as part of the government's energy conservation efforts amid Middle East conflicts.
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) in the Philippines has announced it will begin enforcing a four-day work week starting Monday, April 6, 2026. This shift is aligned with the government’s energy-saving policy, particularly in response to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, which have impacted energy resources. According to LTFRB’s advisory, their offices will operate from Monday through Thursday, between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., with Fridays designated as non-working days for staff. To ensure continuous public service, essential personnel, such as transportation inspectors and the 24/7 hotline team, will continue a full five-day work schedule. The LTFRB encourages the public needing further information or assistance to reach out via their official Facebook page, Viber number 0956-761-0739, or email contacts provided. This move reflects broader governmental measures to conserve energy and manage resources effectively during a period of international uncertainty.
