MANILA, Philippines — The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines , the biggest confederation of labor groups in the country, on Sunday revived its call for the immediate passage of the legislated P150 across-the-board daily wage hike.It added that the P150 legislated wage hike is needed on top of the pay increases in the private sector granted by the various regional wage boards in 15 out of 16 regions nationwide.
