[Title] => Labor chief says P125 wage hike to displace over a million workers
[Summary] =>
Over a million workers nationwide might lose their jobs if a P125 legislated wage hike is implemented, the government said yesterday.
Labor Secretary Arturo Brion said an across-the-board legislated increase in salaries would have a "disastrous" effect on employment and the business climate, even if done on a staggered basis.

[Title] => House won’t withdraw P125 salary hike bill despite protests from businessmen
[Summary] =>
The House of Representatives is not withdrawing its final approval of the P125 wage increase bill even in the face of strong opposition from businessmen to a legislated salary adjustment.
The chamber approved the measure before Congress went on its three-week Christmas break on Dec. 16.
Under the bill, minimum wage earners would be given a salary increase of P125 a day spread over three years: P45 in the first year, P40 in the second and another P40 in the third year, minus any amount that the regional wage boards have granted.

[Title] => Wrong
[Summary] =>
Hours before adjourning for the holidays, the House of Representatives passed on third reading a bill that would raise minimum wages. That is bad news for wage workers and all others looking frantically for a job.
The logic here is counter-intuitive – and it is obvious that logic escapes those advocating legislated wage increases.

[Title] => Wrong
[Summary] => It does not really matter if Congress legislates an increase in minimum wage of one peso or a thousand. The act of legislating wages is wrong. It is inherently at odds with how the modern economy works.
Last week, the House of Representatives passed on second reading a bill that would raise minimum wages by P125 over the next three years. The Palace has opposed the measure.
Over the same period, the regional wage boards could, in all probability, raise wages by that same amount. But that is not the point.

Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye and Presidential Adviser for Political Affairs Gabriel Claudio in separate statements maintained salary hikes can be best addressed through the regional tripartite wage and productivity boards (RTWPBs).
