Wage hike bill not LEDAC’s priority — Escudero
Senate President Francis Escudero stated that increasing the minimum daily wage is not a priority for the Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC).
LEDAC, composed of cabinet secretaries and legislative leaders, is responsible for setting economic policies that become laws.
Escudero criticized House lawmakers for not consulting LEDAC before pushing the P200 wage hike bill.
The House bill must be reconciled with the Senate's approved P100 wage hike bill, and Escudero has not yet reviewed the House bill to check for alignment on exceptions for small businesses.
