Politicized wage-fixing
The Philippine Star
|February 27, 2026
After institutionalizing thievery in the national budget and promoting lifetime mendicancy fed by political patronage, lawmakers are now reviving an effort to take control of wage-setting.
-
Speaker Faustino Dy III has reportedly ordered a legislated wage bill fast-tracked for approval. The bill seeks to abolish the tripartite regional wages and productivity boards, leaving wage-fixing entirely at the hands of politicians.
Lawmakers have long aspired to control wage-setting, for which they can claim personal credit. How they came up with their proposed wage increase figures was always unclear, with only their imagination providing the limit.
Every such effort has been met with concern by all business groups, which warned that politicized wage-setting would likely be arbitrary and could lead to job layoffs and even the shutdown of businesses.
