                    [Summary] => House Majority Leader Prospero Nograles promised yesterday to schedule floor debates for a bill seeking a P125 increase in the minimum daily wage.


"For the record, as majority leader, I have committed to take up the P125 wage hike bill in plenary after the tax measures are finished. We are about to finish the anti-smuggling bill, which seeks the death penalty for big-time smugglers. After that, we will allow the wage hike measures to be sponsored and debates (held) even if it’s certified urgent by President Arroyo," he said.
