The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) slammed the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) for granting a daily minimum wage increase of only P25 to P45 in Region 4A (CALABARZON), with adjustments varying by sector and municipality.

“Are the National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) and the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) 4A of the DOLE out of their minds? Hindi na nga nakabubuhay ang sahod, lalo pang kinukutusan ang manggagawa na bibigyan ng ₱45 na hindi man lang makabili ng isang kilo ng bigas, pero paano pa ang ₱25 na umento sa mga 2nd hanggang 5th class municipalities na kulang pa sa pamasahe para makapasok at makauwi?” the TUCP said in a statement.

Citing Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) data showing the peso’s purchasing power at only around 73 centavos, the TUCP said minimum-wage earners in CALABARZON had suffered an estimated loss of up to P162 in daily purchasing power.

“Yet even after the maximum ₱45 increase, the region’s highest minimum wage would reach just ₱645 a day or barely half of the ₱1,223 daily family living wage estimated by the IBON Foundation. That is why there is no socioeconomic justification and no honest assessment that can make sense of such measly ₱25-45 increase issued by DOLE,” the group added.

Last year, the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board IV-A granted a maximum wage increase of P100 in two tranches, beginning in October 2025, when regional inflation stood at 2.4% in September 2025.

“This year, [the increase is] as little as P25, or merely one-fourth of last year’s maximum increase and roughly two-thirds of the P60 increase implemented in Metro Manila. If DOLE could issue a substantially larger increase last year, why are workers now being told to settle for a fraction of that amount amid tougher times and higher prices in the middle of a national energy emergency and a global crisis?” the TUCP asked.

The TUCP also warned that the unprecedented court challenge to the Metro Manila wage hike could discourage future wage increases.

It said the controversy surrounding Wage Order No. 27 and the subsequent issuance of Wage Order No. 28 may have prompted regional wage-setting bodies to adopt a more cautious, employer-sensitive approach, potentially disadvantaging workers outside the National Capital Region (NCR).

“Huwag sanang magpadala ang DOLE sa takot sa kaso para ipagkait sa manggagawa ang makatarungang umento!” the group said.

“If the threat of litigation is enough to shrink wage increases across the regions, then employers who oppose meaningful wage adjustments have effectively been handed by the DOLE a veto over workers’ purchasing power,” the TUCP added.

KINONDENA NG TUCP ANG DAGDAG-SAHOD NA ₱25–₱45, HINDI SAPAT SA HALAGA NG PAMUMUHAY

The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines condemned the P25-to-P45 increase as insufficient against eroding purchasing power, noting it covers barely half of think tank IBON Foundation’s estimated P1,223 daily family living wage.

₱25 - ₱45 DAILY WAGE HIKE? TUCP SAYS IT’S NOT ENOUGH

The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) is hitting back at DOLE over the P25 to P45 daily wage increase in CALABARZON, calling the adjustment “measly” amid rising prices and mounting financial pressures on workers.

With the region’s highest minimum wage set to reach just P645 a day, workers remain far below the P1,223 daily family living wage estimated by the IBON Foundation.

The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) on Sunday slammed the P25 to P45 daily wage increase for Calabarzon workers issued by the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) – IVA. In a statement, TUCP said the low wage increase is simply unacceptable as it is inadequate to improve the purchasing power of workers in Calabarzon.

“Are the National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) and the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) IVA out of their minds?” asked TUCP.

“There is no socioeconomic justification and no honest assessment that can make sense of such measly P25-P45 increase in wages,” it added. Worse, the labor group noted how the wage increase is unevenly granted to the whole of Calabarzon.

“They are given P45 – an amount that isn’t even enough to buy a kilo of rice. And what about the P25 wage increase for 2nd to 5th class municipalities, the increase doesn’t even cover the cost of the commute to and from work,” stressed TUCP.

Kinondena ng Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) ang Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) sa P25 hanggang P45 na arawang umento sa sahod sa Region 4A (CALABARZON), na nakadepende ang matatanggap na halaga ng manggagawa kung saang sektor at munisipalidad sila nagtatrabaho.

“Are the National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) and the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) 4A of the DOLE out of their minds? Hindi na nga nakabubuhay ang sahod, lalo pang kinukutusan ang manggagawa na bibigyan ng P45 na hindi man lang makabili ng isang kilo ng bigas, pero paano pa ang P25 na umento sa mga 2nd hanggang 5th class municipalities na kulang pa sa pamasahe para makapasok at makauwi?” sabi ng TUCP sa isang pahayag.

Gamit ang pagtataya ng Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) na nasa 73 sentimos na lamang ang purchasing power ng piso, sinabi ng TUCP na nawawalan ang mga manggagawa sa CALABARZON ng hanggang P162 araw-araw.

“Yet even after the maximum P45 increase, the region’s highest minimum wage would reach just P645 a day or barely half of the P1,223 daily family living wage estimated by the IBON Foundation. That is why there is no socioeconomic justification and no honest assessment that can make sense of such measly P25-45 increase issued by DOLE,” dagdag ng TUCP.

Noong nakaraang taon, nagkaloob ang RTWPB IV-A ng maximum na P100 na umento sa sahod sa dalawang tranche, simula Oktubre 2025. Noong Setyembre 2025, nasa 2.4% ang inflation sa rehiyon.

“This year, as little as P25, or merely one-fourth of last year’s maximum increase and roughly two-thirds of the P60 increase implemented in Metro Manila. If DOLE could issue a substantially larger increase last year, why are workers now being told to settle for a fraction of that amount now amid tougher times and higher prices in the middle of a national energy emergency and a global crisis?” tanong ng TUCP.

Nagbabala rin ang labor group na maaaring makapigil sa mga susunod na umento sa sahod ang ginawang paghahain ng kaso laban sa wage hike sa Metro Manila. Ayon sa grupo, maaaring nagtulak sa mga wage-setting body na maging mas maingat at mas pabor sa mga employer ang kontrobersiya ng Wage Order No. 27 na sinundan ng pagpapalabas ng Wage Order No. 28.

“Huwag sanang magpadala ang DOLE sa takot sa kaso para ipagkait sa manggagawa ang makatarungang umento!” pahayag ng grupo.

“If the threat of litigation is enough to shrink wage increases across the regions, then employers who oppose meaningful wage adjustments have effectively been handed by the DOLE a veto over workers’ purchasing power,” dagdag pa ng TUCP.

Kinondena ng TUCP ang P25 hanggang P45 na umento sa sahod sa Calabarzon na itinuturing nitong kulang pa sa pamasahe.
