The Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) yesterday expressed willingness to adopt the government’s proposed four-day workweek, as long as companies would not be required to grant overtime pay.

Anticipating massive opposition to this condition, Soriano urged Congress to make the Labor Code more "attuned with the times and for the government to come out with clear guidelines."
