PBBM not blocking wage hike bill - Castro

Manila Bulletin

June 14 2025

Malacañang rejected accusations that President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is obstructing the P200 legislated wage hike currently pending in Congress, saying he respects the ongoing deliberations and supports what is best for Filipino workers.

Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro said this after Kabataan party-list accused the President of "killing" the wage hike bill to protect wealthy businessmen, claiming that if he truly wanted a salary increase, a single order from the Palace would make it happen.

In her press briefing on Friday, June 13, the Palace Press Officer pushed back against such claims against the President. "Diktador ba ang Pangulong Marcos Jr.? Hindi naman po (Is President Marcos a dictator? He is not)," she said.
