Makabayan bloc seeks P750-minimum wage nationwide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nThe group called on foreign and local corporations to support the proposed measure.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese companies can afford the P750 minimum rate considering the huge profit they get, but they refuse to give wage increases because of their greed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
According to Pajel, companies have benefited the most from the implementation of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN).<\/p>\n
The group said they are open to have a dialogue with small and medium enterprises that are willing to increase wages but are bothered by the rising cost in utilities and taxes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that what is burdening them more is not the wages, but the cost of utilities and taxes. Big foreign and local companies enjoy tax holidays and various subsidies like free water and electricity,\u201d she pointed out.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis must change to allow small and medium enterprises to flourish,\u201d she added. \/ee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
