A wage increase for minimum wage earners in Metro Manila could be implemented soon, after wage setters recognized on Wednesday the need to update salaries because of inflation and other economic factors.
“There is a recognition here that we need to increase the minimum wage, but we have yet to settle on an amount,†Alan Macaraya, chairman of the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) for the National Capital Region, said.
The consensus was arrived at after the wage board heard comments from various sectors regarding the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines’ (TUCP) P90 minimum wage hike petition for Metro Manila at a wage consultation held at the Taguig City University on Wednesday.
