Despite the recent implementation of a P60 wage increase in Metro Manila, labor groups in the Philippines are pressing for a swift resolution to a previous dispute regarding an additional P85 wage hike. The coalition argues that the earlier claim remains unresolved and requires immediate attention from relevant authorities. This ongoing issue impacts workers in Metro Manila who were anticipating a more substantial increase in their daily wages. Labor leaders expressed concerns that the current wage adjustments are insufficient to address the rising cost of living in the region. They are urging for expedited proceedings to finalize the P85 wage hike and provide financial relief to the workforce. Further negotiations or legal action may be pursued if a timely resolution is not reached, according to the coalition. The groups hope to finalize the matter and alleviate the financial strain on workers in Metro Manila.
