Kinondena ng Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) ang inaprubahang P40–P45 na arawang dagdag sa minimum wage, na katumbas ng P5 kada oras na pagtataas, ng Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board sa Region 6 o Western Visayas (RTWPB-VI).
“Workers cannot be grateful for these crumbs because they should be condemned for what it truly is: a woefully inadequate response to a worsening cost-of-living crisis,” sabi ng TUCP sa isang pahayag.

“At a time when families are being crushed by rising prices, DOLE has not only failed but has once again slapped the workers of Western Visayas with a P40–45 daily wage hike or roughly P5 insulting increase per hour,” dagdag ng grupo.

Ayon sa TUCP, aabot lamang sa P590 kada araw ang pinakamataas na minimum wage sa Western Visayas, mas mababa ng P165 kumpara sa P755 sa Metro Manila at katumbas lamang ng halos 55% ng P1,081 na living wage o sahod na tinatayang sapat para sa disenteng pamumuhay, ayon sa IBON Foundation.

“DOLE cannot commend itself for granting a wage increase that leaves workers hundreds of pesos short of a living wage,” sabi ng TUCP. (Billy Begas)

ISANG ARAW matapos maging EPEKTIBO ang DAGDAG-SAHOD sa REGION 4A CALABARZON: NAKUHA na ba ng mga taga-CAVITE, LAGUNA, BATANGAS, RIZAL, at QUEZON?!

Kinondena ng Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) ang inaprubahang P40–P45 na arawang dagdag sa minimum wage, na katumbas ng P5 kada oras na pagtataas, ng Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board sa Western Visayas (RTWPB-VI).
“Workers cannot be grateful for these crumbs because they should be condemned for what it truly is: a woefully inadequate response to a worsening cost-of-living crisis,” sabi ng TUCP sa isang pahayag.
“At a time when families are being crushed by rising prices, DOLE has not only failed but has once again slapped the workers of Western Visayas with a P40–45 daily wage hike or roughly P5 insulting increase per hour,” dagdag ng grupo.

Ayon sa TUCP, aabot lamang sa P590 kada araw ang pinakamataas na minimum wage sa Western Visayas, mas mababa ng P165 kumpara sa P755 sa Metro Manila at katumbas lamang ng halos 55% ng P1,081 na living wage o sahod na tinatayang sapat para sa disenteng pamumuhay, ayon sa IBON Foundation.

“DOLE cannot commend itself for granting a wage increase that leaves workers hundreds of pesos short of a living wage,” sabi ng TUCP.
Sa ilalim ng bagong Wage Order No. 30 ng RTWPB-VI, makatatanggap ang mga agrikultural worker ng P45 na dagdag sa arawang sahod, kaya tataas ang kanilang minimum wage sa P565 mula sa P520.
Samantala, makatatanggap naman ng P40 na dagdag ang mga manggagawang di-agrikultural na nagtatrabaho sa mga establisimyentong may mahigit 10 empleyado, kaya tataas ang kanilang minimum wage mula P550 sa P590.

“Western Visayas recorded the country’s second-highest inflation rate at 9.2% in September 2026, while the real value of wages has reportedly eroded by P148. How can DOLE then claim to have considered workers’ purchasing power when its own wage order fails to restore what rising prices have taken away?” pahayag ng grupo.
“Worse, DOLE keeps invoking employers’ capacity to pay as though workers’ capacity to feed their families, send their children to school, pay rent, cover transportation costs, and keep up with electricity and water bills. Preserving jobs cannot become a convenient justification for preserving poverty wages,” paliwanag ng TUCP.

Kinondena rin ng TUCP ang tinawag nitong “fast-becoming deeply disturbing pattern” ng mga dagdag-sahod sa mga lugar sa labas ng Metro Manila at tinukoy ang P42 na dagdag sa Central Visayas at P45 sa CALABARZON at ngayon ng Western Visayas.
“Workers in the provinces are being told to settle for less even as they face not only the same but more severe punishing increases in the cost of living. The cost of survival does not stop at the borders of the National Capital Region (NCR),” giit ng TUCP. (Billy Begas)

Kinondena ng TUCP ang P40–P45 arawang dagdag-sahod o P5 kada oras na pagtaas ng minimum wage sa Western Visayas.

The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) denounced the P40–P45 daily minimum wage increase, equivalent to roughly P5 per hour, approved by the Department of Labor and Employment’s (DOLE) Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board in Western Visayas (RTWPB-VI).

“Workers cannot be grateful for these crumbs because they should be condemned for what it truly is: a woefully inadequate response to a worsening cost-of-living crisis,” the TUCP said in a statement.

“At a time when families are being crushed by rising prices, DOLE has not only failed but has once again slapped the workers of Western Visayas with a P40–45 daily wage hike or roughly a P5 insulting increase per hour,” the group added.

The TUCP noted that the highest minimum wage in Western Visayas will reach only P590 a day, which is P165 below Metro Manila’s P755 and barely 55% of the P1,081 living wage estimated by IBON Foundation.

“DOLE cannot commend itself for granting a wage increase that leaves workers hundreds of pesos short of a living wage,” the TUCP said.

Under the new RTWPB-VI Wage Order No. 30, agricultural workers will receive a P45 daily increase, raising their minimum wage from P520 to P565. Non-agricultural workers employed by establishments with more than 10 employees will receive a P40 increase, raising their minimum wage from P550 to P590.

“Western Visayas recorded the country’s second-highest inflation rate at 9.2% in September 2026, while the real value of wages has reportedly eroded by P148. How can DOLE then claim to have considered workers’ purchasing power when its own wage order fails to restore what rising prices have taken away?” the group said.

“Worse, DOLE keeps invoking employers’ capacity to pay as though workers’ capacity to feed their families, send their children to school, pay rent, cover transportation costs, and keep up with electricity and water bills. Preserving jobs cannot become a convenient justification for preserving poverty wages,” the TUCP explained.

The TUCP deplored what it called a “fast-becoming deeply disturbing pattern” of wage increases outside Metro Manila, citing the P42 increase in Central Visayas and the P45 increase in CALABARZON.

“Workers in the provinces are being told to settle for less even as they face not only the same but more severe punishing increases in the cost of living. The cost of survival does not stop at the borders of the National Capital Region (NCR),” the TUCP asserted.

TUCP slammed the P40–P45 daily minimum wage hike in Western Visayas, calling the roughly P5 per hour increase "crumbs" and insulting.

The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) said the labor department should issue a department order allowing for paid heat breaks.

“Pinapaalala din natin sa ating mga employers na ‘wag kayong masyadong kuripot na nawalan kayo ng isang araw. Mas okay nang mawalan ng isang araw ng trabaho kaysa mawalan ng buhay ‘yung sarili nating empleyado,” said TUCP Spokesperson Carlos Oñate.

Sa gitna ng banta ng Super El Niño, iginiit ng TUCP na kailangang protektahan ang mga manggagawa laban sa mapanganib na init, lalo na ang mga construction worker na nagtatrabaho sa ilalim ng direktang sikat ng araw. Nanawagan ang grupo sa Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) na magpatupad ng mahigpit at mandatoryong mga hakbang pangkaligtasan sa mga lugar-paggawa.

Kabilang sa isinusulong ng TUCP ang bayad na heat breaks, libreng inuming tubig, sapat na lilim at cooling facilities, at proteksiyon sa sahod at benepisyo kapag kailangang baguhin o ihinto ang trabaho dahil sa mapanganib na init. Binigyang-diin ng grupo na hindi dapat malagay sa panganib ang buhay ng mga manggagawa para lamang maipagpatuloy ang operasyon.

Giit ng TUCP, hindi sapat ang mga advisory na naghihikayat lamang sa mga employer na kumilos. Kailangan ang mahigpit na pagpapatupad ng mga hakbang pangkaligtasan upang maiwasan ang heat-related illnesses at pagkamatay sa lugar-paggawa.

Panoorin ang panayam sa Rapido ni Patrick Tulfo sa DZME tungkol sa panawagan ng TUCP na unahin ang kalusugan at buhay ng mga manggagawa, lalo na ang mga construction worker na araw-araw na humaharap sa matinding init.
