    • based on your profile you don’t need those additional hikes.
      ten pesos is better than nothing for minimum wagers.


    • 25 pesos per day isn’t coins for both the employer and minimum wage earners. That is an additional 750 pesos per month.

      Now, for the employer, that is an additional 750 pesos PER employee PER month.


  1. As compared to the across the board wage increase for gov’t employees. And 14th month pay…..
