Minimum wage earners in Metro Manila to get P35 hike on July 17

Minimum wage earners in Metro Manila will get a P35 hike in their daily salary starting July 17, the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board in the National Capital Region said.

“This P35 increase is an insult to Filipino workers. It’s even lower than the P40 hike granted last year. How can the government expect NCR workers to survive on P645 a day when the Family Living Wage stands at P1,200 and when prices continue to accelerate?” said Rep. Arlene Brosas of Gabriela Women’s Party.

The labor group called on Filipino workers to join the mass mobilization during the President’s State of the Nation Address on July 22. The new wage rates translate to about a 5.7 percent increase from the prevailing daily minimum wage rates in Metro Manila.
