DOLE supports PHP200 daily min wage increase
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) on Wednesday stated that it is not opposing the passage of a wage hike law.
Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma clarified during an interview at the Jobstreet Career Con 2025 in Pasay City that DOLE's role is to provide technical inputs rather than make decisions, emphasizing their support for the bill.
Speaker Martin Romualdez announced on Tuesday that the House of Representatives will push for a bill granting a PHP200 daily minimum wage increase.
The Nagkaisa Labor Coalition welcomed this announcement, noting that the wage hike bill has been stalled in the Labor committee since March last year.
Lawyer Sonny Matula, chairperson of the coalition, emphasized that any legislated wage hike should be implemented nationwide.
