OSG closed, unable to receive docs during Luzon quarantine
The Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) has temporarily closed its office in Makati City and shifted to a work-from-home arrangement for its employees.
This decision is in response to President Duterte's declaration of an enhanced community quarantine across Luzon to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Consequently, the OSG premises will be closed and will not be able to receive any documents until the quarantine period is lifted.
The Department of Justice (DOJ), to which the OSG is attached, had previously ordered a work stoppage with skeletal staff maintaining operations and other personnel working remotely.
The DOJ Secretary had also encouraged attached agencies to implement similar measures for the continuous delivery of services.
