MANILA, Philippines — While he welcomes the minimum wage increase that will be implemented in Metro Manila, Cavite Rep. Jolo Revilla believes there has to be a wider implementation of the adjustments, that would include other areas outside of the National Capital Region (NCR).
In a statement on Wednesday, Revilla said that the P85 per day wage increase is a long overdue move, but one that is also a positive step in improving the purchasing power of Filipinos.
“We commend DOLE [Department of Labor and Employment] and the NCR Wage Board for this important step, but we must also ensure that workers in nearby regions who face similar economic pressures are not left behind,” Revilla said.
