NCR, region 10 wage boards ready with new round of wage increases

The National Capital Region (NCR) and Region 10 Regional Tripartite Productivity and Wage Boards (RTPWBs) are ready to issue an order setting a new round of wage increases for minimum wage earners in the two regions.

President Gloria Macapagal –Arroyo, who was the guest of honor at the 29th National Conference of the Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) held today at the Centennial Hall of the historic Manila Hotel, made the announcement as she congratulated the RTPWBs “for doing overtime work last Labor Day.”

The President said that acting Labor Secretary Marianito Roque informed her last night that the NCR wage board agreed to add P20 to the minimum wage, thus raising the daily minimum wage in the NCR to P382.

The President said, however, that this is still subject to “refinements” as the wage board was still meeting this morning.

“But the refinement may be P15 increase in the minimum wage and P5 additional cost of living allowance (COLA),” she added.
