The Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board has approved an increase of P35 in the daily minimum wage of workers in the National Capital Region.
MANILA, Philippines — The Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board has approved an increase of P35 in the daily minimum wage of workers in the National Capital Region .
The last minimum wage increase in Metro Manila was implemented on July 16, 2023 at P610 for the non-agricultural sector and P573 for the agriculture sector. The labor department said the wage hike translates to an increase of at least 5.7 percent from the current daily minimum wage in Metro Manila. Brosas said the wage hike is a “mere pittance that fails to address the dire economic situation of Filipino workers and their families.”
The labor group also criticized Marcos’ move to increase salaries through the regional wage boards instead of urging the House of Representatives to legislate a nationwide salary increase. Three Filipino women believed to be victims of a mail-order bride scheme have been prevented from boarding their flights to China, the Bureau of Immigration said yesterday.
