00:00Petitions are now being heard for an increase in the minimum wage in Metro Manila.

00:05Sandra Aguinaldo was there.

00:10It is possible that the announcement for an increase in the daily minimum wage in Metro Manila will not reach a month.

00:17Earlier, the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board heard the arguments of workers and employers

00:25on whether or not to increase the salary.

00:29A group is asking for an increase of P150.

00:33There is also P597 and P750.

00:39On July 16, 2023, the latest increase in the minimum wage in Metro Manila

00:45is currently at P610 or P573 depending on the sector.

00:51Only P40 was added then, which is still not enough and does not coincide with the growth of the business.

00:58The salary is not enough to support them in poverty.

01:03The net salary of a minimum wage earner in NCAT is even lower than the poverty threshold.

01:11That is the lowest requirement.

01:14The minimum wage of workers is not enough to continue to increase the price of basic necessities.

01:22Even if it increases, it will only increase in quantity.

01:26The Confederation of Wearable Exporters of the Philippines, or CONWEP, understands this.

01:31But their sector is also having a hard time.

01:34They are asking for an increase in the salary within a year.

01:38In exports, at this time, at this year, orders have already entered.

01:44It is already being done in factories.

01:46Estimating the production in factories is based on the current wage,

01:52on the current competition of costs.

01:55If we adjust here, it will really have an effect on our companies.

02:02The Employers' Confederation of the Philippines is aware that if the wage hike is too high,

02:07foreign investors may be left behind because the expenses in business will be high.

02:13This will cause a wage distortion.

02:17Our informal sector will be affected.

02:21Street vendors, including sari-sari stores who sell goods and services on the streets

02:26or move from place to place, sell their products.

02:29This would be affected.

02:31Home-based workers will be affected.

02:34We are trying to survive and compete with other ASEAN countries.

02:38So, to my colleagues, be careful.

02:43Don't go for P750.

02:47The amount needed to restore, based on economic parameters or inflation,

02:52sorry to say, it is just P16 on the P610 and P15 on the P573.

03:02The Wage Board promised to consider all aspects of the decision before July 16.

03:09And now, we saw their presentation.

03:12We will have a decision based on all inputs and concerns, comments of all sectors.

03:20Yes, it's very difficult.

03:22As I said, our discussion will be long.

03:27All the deliberations of the Wage Board have added benefits.

03:34Of course, they say it's small, it's not enough.

03:38But the bottom line is that there are benefits.

03:40For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, for Tutok 24 Horas.
