Mar 10, 2020 Dear GODOFREDO CARDENAS, Thank you for your request dated Mar 09, 2020 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Guidelines on the Temporary Shutdown of Companies Relative to COVID-19. As COVID 19 continue to spread worldwide, it has profound effects not only to health but also to economy and labor. The DOLE so far had issued two policies relative to this: DOLE Labor Advisories 4 and 9 (Please see attached files). These two issuances provided guidelines on prevention and control of COVID 19 as well as the different flexible work arrangements the employer may utilized to keep their business afloat and at the same time keep the employment of the affected workers. However, as to possible compensation of affected workers by temporary shutdown, this shall be dealt with another policy which as of now is still a work in progress as the budget that will be allocated for this is still for approval. May we request you to check the DOLE Website for any developments. Should you have any questions regarding your request, kindly contact us through telephone number 8-527 3000 loc. 307. Thank you. Respectfully, Marco Valeros, MD FOI Officer
