According to Herrera, current minimum wage laws and regulations allow the classification of workers into agricultural, nonagricultural, administrative and clerical, industrial zone, and household.
“Given current economic conditions and the essential and crucial role of health-care workers, P1,000 a day is a just minimum wage at entry level. The wage rates of those at higher than entry-level, should of course be higher,” she added.
