00:00The minimum wage in Metro Manila will increase to Php 645 this July.
00:07Some labor groups were left out, but the Labor Department insisted that this is a big help.
00:12And Mark Salazar was there.
00:18This is the ref of the family of five with a single income and a minimum wage earner.
00:24It's just water.
00:26Because her name is Arawan Nicole Nunez, if I'm not mistaken,
00:29so that she can follow the budget that is based on Php 610 per day salary of the wife.
00:35It includes rice, 2 kilos of rice, and Php 200.
00:41That's just one meal.
00:43For Php 200, bread, coffee, sugar,
00:50Php 120 for the milk.
00:55That's just one meal.
00:56Php 200 is given to my husband.
01:00For electricity, it's just a loan.
01:04You can live on a small amount of money if you don't have even a little extra.
01:10Since July 15, there is an expected increase in the salary in Metro Manila
01:15after the approval of the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board
01:20to increase the minimum wage to Php 645 per day from Php 610.
01:27We consider the inflation rate, the average for one year since May last year up to May this year.
01:37It also includes the GDP of NCR.
01:41The labor groups are asking for more, but according to the wage board,
01:45the increase is based on the movement of the consumer price index last year,
01:50which did not exceed the average of Php 5.
01:54The new minimum wage of Php 645 is already far from the Php 452 poverty threshold.
02:02When we computed, we only have like Php 30.
02:06Well, of course, the labor sector, their demand is to increase to Php 100.
02:12Both parties talked again.
02:15We gave technical inputs on the part of the government, and we arrived at Php 35.
02:21The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines called for an insult to the workers,
02:28the Php 35 wage increase.
02:30The United Labor Coalition is also pushing for the legislated Php 150 across-the-board wage increase.
02:37The Department of Labor is expecting this reaction from the groups of workers.
02:43This is a collegial decision and we have to get the numbers.
02:48The voting here is 5 out of 7.
02:52Our labor sector descended to Php 35 because they want an increase of Php 150.
03:02The DOLE gave a signal that the Php 1 million minimum wage earner in Metro Manila
03:09will still benefit because of this 5% increase in their salary.
03:13The reaction to the increase of Php 35 depends on the individual situation.
03:19It's enough if you have fewer expectations, especially if you're single.
03:23Sir, the increase of Php 35 is a big thing.
03:26It's an increase in salary. Even if it's just Php 1, it's important.
03:31That's enough sir.
03:32That's enough sir.
03:33For Mother Nicole and her family of five, they don't feel the increase of Php 35.
03:39The increase of Php 35 is not enough.
03:43There's still a lack of increase.
03:47Because now, rice prices are increasing.
03:52For food, for pork, how much is a kilo of chicken?
03:58For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar.
04:02Tune in 24 hours.
04:09.
