125 accross the board approved!

What about those who can afford only around 5 employees running their business? Mind you, other small enterprises have revenues coming in just enough for the business to survive. If there will be added expenses, how can they have revenues? In effect, instead of incurring revenues, they will just be incurring loss. In the end, they will close down their business because it is not earning.

As previously stated, I am for salary increase. Who would not want that, anyway? But we should analyze more the consequences of our actions because it might lead to more suffering.

I dont think the legislated wage hike should treat all the companies equally. I think the law will provide exemptions based on graduated scales of income of the employers.

But that increase of wages is long overdue and I think if the government is really sincere in helping the workers, they have to be serious about implementing it. The problem of underpaid workers is real and I think the government must act now.

^ I agree.

Big companies can really afford to give out the 125 across the board wage increase. How about those small companies who can only increase so much? These small companies, also known as Small and medium enterprises, have no other choice but to lay off workers when they cannot afford the high cost of the workers. As such, it will only result to lost of job of many.

A balance should really be reached in order to answer the need of both the employers and the workers.

Those companies should upgrade their services. Im sure nga naa jud mga ganansiya aning mga small time kuno nga establishments. Im sure they can afford to pay that much. Asa man mo mag negosyo, sa singapore or hongkong? Mas dako didto ila minimum wage, 900 to 1,200 pesos/day equivalent. Im sure this will change the country a lot. We will become progressive kay the workers will be encourage to work with honesty and integrity. Give your workers a chance to live with a standard living naman.

Kindly read carefully the previous posts. No one here is against a salary increase. We just want everybody to keep their jobs.

For me what you mean, means the same thing. You are not against salary increase but you want to keep your job. Means the same to me. Workers should strive more to find a job now coz we have the reason now.

FOR lack of time, the House of Representatives will no longer approve on third and final reading a bill seeking a 125-peso across-the-board wage increase for workers in the private sector before Congress adjourns on June 7, House Majority Floor Leader Prospero Nograles told INQ7.net on Tuesday.
This means that the bill will have to wait until the new Congress opens in July.

"We can't [approve the wage bill]. We need three days after [which] printed copies are distributed to House members since the wage hike is not certified [as an] urgent bill," Nograles said in a text message.

Nograles’ statement came a day after National Economic Development Authority chief Romulo Neri warned of higher unemployment in the country.

Neri issued his statement after the House approved the wage bill on second reading last week.

Bayan Muna Representative Teodoro Casiño suspected that the House leadership was dilly-dallying on the measure because of Neri's remarks.


The workers could now kiss their hopes goodbye. The government had a change of heart.

approved lagi pero data data man sad gud.....faet sad kay ma pordoy mga company ani nya dghan na sad ta jobless...

[lestat1116]

mayta dili madayon oi.. i wish dili jud madayon.. i really hope dili madayon.. once mo dayon mo taas ang basic commodities(food and tanan butang) then mo sugot na ang mga jeepney drivers mo saka ang plete kay nisaka naman ang sweldo.. watcha think? tabla ra gihapon noh?

[dolfo]

for my humble opinion dili ang pag-increase sa sweldo ang solution sa ato crisis sa pagkakaron kay kon taas na ang basic wage taas na unya ang standard of living nato unsaon nalang pag-apas sa mga wala trabaho. ang ato untang goberno labina ang hingtungdan nga agency tan-awon pila jud ang angay nga presyo sa mga basic commodities, pila jud ang angay nga tuition fee, pila jud ang angay nga plitihan sa laktud nga pagkasulti the government will evaluate the right prize nga bayran ni juan ug unya mao ni ang ipa implement sa market aron makita nato pila jud ang angay nga kitaon ni juan aron siya makasurvive. patas-an ang sweldo mao ra japon patas-an pud ang presyo sa mga palaliton unya demand na pud lain wage increase hantud wala kahumanan momata nalang dayon ta usa ka adlaw wala na nang mga dagko nga investors kay dili naman competative ang labor cost sa ato nasud. unya ang atong mga small and medium enterprise wala na sad kay dili naman kakaya sa competition kay gamay ra man puhunan.

[lestat1116]

naa kay point dolfo... but lisud if ang government mo decide... some of them mo decide increase jud so that mo increase ila pork barrel.. the business sector maoy mo decide if angay ba mo increase.. if dili mo increase ang wage dili man sad mo increase ang paliton.on

Thats the best solution bai kay dili na jud na mu decrease ang prices sa basic komodetes. Im sure dili sila basta basta mag increase ug prices kay kinahanglan pa na aprobahan sa government before mag increase except lang this oil prices kay walay control ang government. Salary increase is the only solution, ayaw mo pa blap anang mga company kay Im sure dili na nila buhaton ang ilang mga plano to fire employees. Im really really sure with that.
