Gatchalian orders Senate work-from-home amid reported threat
MANILA, Philippines — Senate President Pro Tempore Sherwin Gatchalian has authorized Senate employees to work from home from Wednesday, June 10, to Thursday, June 11, after the National Bureau of Investigation relayed information about a possible security threat.
In a memorandum, Gatchalian said the work-from-home arrangement would allow security assessments, inspections and other precautionary measures to be carried out within the Senate premises.
"All Senate Secretariat and Senate Proper employees are hereby authorized to Work-from-Home (WFH) for the remainder of the week, June 10-11, 2026 (Wednesday and Thursday)," Gatchalian said.
"The safety and security of all Senate personnel remain a foremost priority as the concerned authorities undertake the appropriate security protocols within the Senate premises," he added.
Gatchalian directed office heads to implement remote work arrangements to ensure that Senate operations continue.
Personnel may still be required to report on-site if needed for essential services, safety or security functions.
"The names of personnel required to report on-site shall be submitted to the Office of the Sergeant-at-Arms," Gatchalian said.
