BACOOR, Cavite: The local government announced the implementation of a four-day work week up to May 30, with business transactions at the municipal hall starting at 8 a.m. up to 7 p.m. from Mondays until Thursdays.
However, critical services like health and police work will remain on an on-going or 24-hour basis.
“We are implementing this scheme this summer in order to save on energy,” explained Mayor Strike Revilla. “We try to come up with various creative and practical ways to save some money for the local government while helping conserve on the utilization of non-renewable energy resources,” added the maverick mayor.
Employees of the local government who also wish to take advantage of the longer daylight hours this summer while getting an extra day off on Fridays support the move.
Revilla also announced a new set of telephone trunk lines for the municipal hall of Bacoor. The first two numbers to call, said the mayor, are: (046) 5711971 and (046) 5711891. Callers may then ask for the local number of the department they wish to contact with.
Two additional numbers for the trunk lines will be announced later after the full completion of the PABX system recently installed in the municipal hall.
