₱50 minimum wage hike OK'd in NCR

Manila Bulletin

|

July 01 2025

Starting July 18, the daily minimum wage for workers in Metro Manila will increase to P695 after the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board-National Capital Region (RTWPB-NCR) approved a P50 pay hike, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) disclosed on Monday, June 30.

- By TRIXEE ROSEL

DOLE Secretary Bienvenido E. Laguesma said the wage adjustment—the highest granted by RTWPB-NCR—was affirmed by the National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) and is expected to benefit around 1.2 million minimum wage earners in the region.

Under Wage Order No. NCR-26, the same P50 increase will apply to workers in the agriculture sector, raising their daily minimum wage from P608 to P658.

The P608 to P658 wage rate will also apply to retail and service establishments with 15 or fewer employees, as well as manufacturing firms with fewer than 10 regular workers.

With one of the most high-level representations at the event, our presence demonstrated that the Philippines stands firmly with the global OGP community in advancing open governance at all levels of society — refining systems for better public service delivery and strengthening public trust through transparency and collaboration.
