“It’s not enough, but that’s okay rather than nothing. That P125 is already a big help to our people.”
Ito ang tinuran ni Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo na nagsabing sana ay maipatupad ang wage increase bago magpasko.
“That has always been our call for the wage of workers to increase because the price of basic commodities continue to increase,” ani Pabillo, ng Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines Episcopal Commission on the Laity.
Nauna nang inatasan ni Labor and Employment Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III ang Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards (RTWPB), na magdaos ng nationwide consultations hinggil sa panukalang P125 across-the-board general wage increase sa pribadong sektor.
