#work from home

Telegram, one of the world’s biggest messaging apps, is valued at around 30 billion dollars, yet it is run by only about 30 employees working from home across different countries. We put its 'Expert' name to the test, examining if its business-focused features, military-grade toughness, and portable design make it the ultimate work-from-anywhere companion for Filipino professionals like you. With the Philippine government currently pursuing the shift of business process outsourcing (BPO) firms to implement 100 percent work-from-home (WFH) schemes, certain trends in the industry are also brought to fore. Accommodating calls to extend the prevailing WFH setup, however, the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) has issued letters of authority to permit their registered business enterprises (RBEs) to implement a hybrid setup (up to 30 percent work-from-home) until September 12 of this year, while still retaining their fiscal incentives. 026-22, which was issued on September 14, RBEs which continued to have a hybrid setup (30 percent work-from-home) would be allowed to remain so until December 31, 2022. Another significant decision reflected here involved the transfer of RBEs in the BPO sector to the Board of Investments (BOI) if they seek to implement 100 percent work-from-home schemes. To recall, the FIRB decided via Resolution 19-21 to allow the hybrid work scheme only until March 31, 2022, with work-from-home (WFH) or work-from-anywhere (WFX) available for up to 90 percent of BPO workers.
