The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines welcomed Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri's bill which seeks to increase the minimum wage of private workers by P150, as the group said the proposed adjustment is 'badly needed' by workers.
Zubiri earlier warned that Filipinos will be driven to work abroad if the government fails to increase the minimum wage. “Kaya mag-aalisan talaga sila kung hindi sila makakatanggap ng nakabubuhay na sahod. Hindi natin pwedeng gipitin ang mga manggagawa. Sila ang nagpapagalaw ng ating mga industriya. Without them, our industries will shut down, and our economy will plummet. So they really deserve to make a living wage,” the Senate president said.
