Ilocos, Cagayan valley wage hike approved

>> Friday, June 3, 2022

Minimum wage earners in three more regions in the country will receive an increase in their daily take-home pay, the Department of Labor and Employment reported Thursday.
    Rolly Francia, DOLE Information and Publication Service director, said the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards in Ilocos, Cagayan Valley and Caraga granted petitions for salary hike.
In Ilocos Region, the wage board approved daily wage increases ranging from P60 to P90 to be given in tranches.
    Francia said this means the minimum wage in Ilocos will range from P372 to P400 from the current P282 to P340.
    He said the wage board also granted an increase of P500 to P1,500 in the monthly salary of house helpers in the region.
    Domestic helpers in cities and first class municipalities will receive a minimum salary of P5,000 while those in other municipalities will receive P4,000.
    DOLE regional office director Evelyn Ramos said both management and the labor sectors are amenable to the wage increase, which was described as ”substantial.”
    Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte, Pangasinan and La Union comprise the Ilocos Region.
    In Cagayan Valley, Francia said the regional wage board approved pay hikes ranging from P50 to P75 to be given in two to three tranches. This will increase the daily take-home pay of workers in the region from P345 to P370 to P400 to P420.
    Workers in Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino as well as the cities of Cauayan, Ilagan, Santiago and Tuguegarao are covered by the wage order.  – Eva Visperas
