DICT Secretary Gregorio B. Honasan II said the “Work from Home website” (wfh.gov.ph) was launched to support President Rodrigo Duterte's agenda of "unhampered and efficient service to the people” amid the COVID-19 pandemic and to promote “ICT-enabled work arrangements.”

“We encourage our government employees to visit the website and find the right resources to help guide them transition into a remote working lifestyle,” Honasan said.

The DICT said the website also aims to help government employees to “manage the new virtual working environment.”

Among the other features of the website include “instructions on how government employees can avail of various telecommuting software for video conferencing, document processing, e-mail, and digital certificates.”

“It features content that complements the continuing objective of the recently concluded National ICT Month 2020 to maximize ICT for the new normal through various digitalization initiatives, strategies, and best practices,” the DICT added.
