Makatatanggap ng P10-P25 umento ang mga manggagawa sa pribadong sektor sa Eastern Visayas simula sa Lunes, Pebrero 13, ayon kay Regional Tripartite Wage Productivity Board Chairman Elias Cayanong.
“After a careful review of the socio-economic and other statistical data, and the results of the consultations and public hearing, we have seen the need to increase the minimum wage in the region. So, we have the new wage order, which serves as our Valentine’s gift to our workers in the region,” paliwanag ni Cayanong.
Sinabi ni Cayanong na sa bagong wage order, ang mga manggagawa sa non-agricultural sector ay tatanggap na ng basic pay na P278 at P7 COLA (cost of living allowance), o may kabuuang P285 kada araw.
“The increase in the basic daily wage shall be P25 for non-agriculture workers, P23 for sugar mills, P15 for cottage/handicraft; P10 for retail/service employing 10 workers and below, P15 for retail/service employing 11 up to 30 workers, P10 for agriculture non-sugar workers, and P10 for agriculture sugar farm workers,” pahayag ni Cayanong.
