National Wages and Productivity Commission

The National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) is responsible for setting minimum wage rates across different regions in the Philippines. In August 2025, the NWPC facilitated public hearings in Central Visayas to discuss potential increases in minimum wages for private workers and domestic helpers. The commission also implemented recent wage hikes in various regions like Calabarzon, Bicol, and Central Luzon to improve living standards for low-income earners.
