Gabriela Party-list Rep. Arlene Brosas slams the recently approved P40 minimum wage hike in the National Capital Region , saying the increase is hardly enough to buy a kilo of rice."It can hardly buy a kilo of rice."
"While the P40 wage hike is a result of workers' lobbying efforts, it is disheartening to see that it can hardly buy a kilo of rice and is significantly below the living wage," Brosas, a Makabayan solon, said in a statement Friday, June 30.The increase, which is meant for private sector workers, will be implemented through a wage order issued by Metro Manila’s Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board.
But Brosas noted that this increase will adjust minimum wage to P610 a month--still far from the family living wage of P1,100.
