Key Landlord Representation Services in the New Normal

Metro Manila and the majority of the Philippines have already transitioned to the most lenient lockdown classification set by the government. In its latest resolution, the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) placed the country’s capital under Alert Level 1 starting March 1 to 15. 

Following this announcement, the national government issued a statement that all public offices will transition back to full on-site operations. At the same time, it also urged the private sector to do the same.  
 
Addressing ‘Back to the Office Hesitancy’ 

In the new normal, traditional office spaces remain to be relevant for companies. Local and multinational businesses will continue to lease an office to provide a core of the organization’s culture and identity. Companies that are also heavily reliant on the security of their data and other documents will also lease an office space despite flexible workplace options. Many are also looking forward to going back to the office for a better work-and-life balance after experiencing burnout during the long-term lockdowns.

As more Filipinos receive their COVID-19 vaccine, more industries reopen, and more social mobility is allowed.
