Sinuportahan ng Senado ang direktiba ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. na pag-aralan ang minimum na sahod ng mga manggagawa sa bawat rehiyon.

“I am one with our President in calling for the Regional Tripartite Wage and Productivity Boards to do a regular review of our minimum wages and for the National Wages and Productivity Commission to ensure that the boards do so,” pahayag ni Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri.

Gayunman, iminungkahi ng senador na ang pinakamagandang regalo sa mga manggagawa ay ang legislated minimum wage increase.

Binanggit ni Zubiri ang ₱100 Daily Minimum Wage Increase Act na inaprubahan ng Senado kamakailan.

“In tandem with this, I also urgently appeal to our President to consider Senate Bill No. 2534, or the PHP100 Daily Minimum Wage Increase Act, which will be a massive step toward giving our hardworking laborers the living wages that they deserve. Perhaps it can even be certified as urgent, given the continued spike in the prices of goods owing to inflation,” dagdag pa ng senador.
