00:43Decision on the amount of additional wages in Metro Manila, possibly issued in July.
00:48Different groups are asking for a wage hike.
00:51There are 150 pesos, 597 pesos, and 750 pesos.
00:57In July 2023, the minimum wage in Metro Manila increased to 610 or 573 pesos depending on the sector.
01:07It was only added 40 pesos, which is still not enough, and it is not in line with the growth of businesses.

01:19But their sector is also poor, so they are asking for a wage hike within a year.
01:25The Employers' Confederation of the Philippines is also worried that if the wage hike is too high,
01:30foreign investors may withdraw because the expenses in business will increase.
