Lilia Estillore, Department of Labor and Employment-Central Visayas director, said random inspections will be conducted in small, medium, and large establishments in the region following the approval of the P33 daily minimum wage increase.
“We understand the employer sector but to answer the question if the increase is enough, that’s still very difficult on the part of the labor. Although this is the biggest increase in the history of RTWB-7, our laborers will still be in a difficult situation,” said Diego in a press conference on Monday, September 18.She said there were three wage hike petitions that were filed – two sought for P100 and one asked for P292.
“Both labor and management, we made to understand each other’s needs. The need of course is there, to qualify the high cost of living, inflation, high cost of food. But we, in the management, tend to focus more on the survival of the businesses as a whole and the impact of whatever wage increase that will be granted,” Tan said.
