In Metro Manila, the price of a kilo of pork was now equivalent to seven hours of work for a minimum wage earner.

The legislated daily minimum wage in Metro Manila is P537 but when adjusted for inflation, it goes down to P434 .

According to Magtubo, the price monitoring report of the Philippine Statistics Authority showed that the prices of meat and vegetables this month rose by 50 to 275 percent compared to January last year.Associated Labor Unions vice president Gerard Seno said that workers, especially those receiving minimum wages, were outraged by the steep hike in the prices of basic food items such as rice, vegetables, meat and liquefied petroleum gas.

ALU called on the Department of Agriculture and Department of Trade and Industry to bring down as soon as possible to “reasonable levels” the prices of basic commodities.“Government agencies have already identified the gaps and problematic layers giving rise to these runaway prices of basic food commodities,” Geno said.

Walang pake sa inyo si duterte.

The reason for pork price increase was the ASF.Mahirap na maghanap ng biik na palakihin. Sa amin around our town lang pwedeng bumili ng biik.Nakalockdown din bawat towns.

It baffles me that this is thr minimum wage of Filipinos. Nakakadismaya. 🙁 No wonder a lot of our kababayans work abroad.

This admin doesn’t care one bit

Tell that to the makers of 1987 constipation... Este constitution...

GAYA GAYA SA Boss nila na walang nakikitang mali sa mga nangyayari ngayon sa paligid. Dati kasi mono monitor ang prices ng basic commodities. Simula ng mahing president si D, nawal lahat.

DTI stopped working months ago...

DAR, maybe it's a good idea to designate a Distribution Czar because I suspect this is a major determinant in the runaway increase in the price of commodities.

totoo at totoo 💔

Tssk mag lugaw nalang muna para tipid

It's not just in Manila. There are shortages in pork and chicken products in our province since the start of January.

Its time to eat like a Japanese, healthier, smaller serving.
