The Department of Labor and Employment (Dole) is expected to announce its decision on the proposed P1,200 daily minimum wage for the National Capital Region (NCR) in July. This comes as labor groups are urging the government to address wage concerns amid ongoing economic challenges.
In the Cordillera region, an energy emergency has intensified demands for wage hikes, while labor organizations nationwide are calling for leadership from the government to respond to the needs of workers, especially in light of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East affecting local economies.
