According to the adviser, remote work would also mean people spending less on food and shopping compared to when they go to office, even if online shopping is extremely popular among Pinoys.

“Iyong work-from-home, okay lang iyan sa pandemya, pero sa panahon natin ngayon, wala namang pandemic eh. So dapat tuloy-tuloy ang encouragement to work-from-office para may disiplina rin,” Concepcion said, as quoted by reports.

“Kasi kapag work-from-home tayo, anong mangyayari sa Pilipinas?” the PSAC member added.

Office setup, 3-4 hrs sa biyahe (1.5-2hrs papunta at pabalik) na pwedeng gamitin sana para maging mas-productive sa work at sa sariling buhay.

Iyong gastos na tinutukoy para sa pagkain at shopping? magagastos pa rin naman sa pagkain (via delivery), online shopping, at sa iba pang mahalagang bagay tulad ng bahay. Hindi naman titigil ang ekonomiya kapag na sa bahay lang ang lahat; mag-aadapt lang ang market.
