A workers’ group on Monday filed a petition seeking a P100 increase in the daily minimum wage in the National Capital Region amid the accelerating inflation and the continuous rise in the prices of basic commodities.
“Sa kwenta namin noong October, 7.2% inflation, nawalan ng P70 ang purchasing power sa Metro Manila. Dahil patuloy ang pagtaas ng presyo, 8.2% na ngayon ang inflation at hanggang sa susunod na taon, sa tingin namin angkop lang na makabawi ang manggagawa sa halagang P100,” Partido ng Manggagawa president Rene Magtubo said.
“Tingnan natin. Magpatuloy ang mga hanap-buhay, lumaki pa at wag din namang kalimutan na may pangangailangan ang mga manggagawa. Kaya nga mayroong mga non-wage benefits na ginagawa ang pamahalaan eh. 'Yung Kadiwa ng Pasko,” said Laguesma.
