Post-Labor Day Press Statement of Senator Bong Revilla

I welcome the President's directive to the regional wage boards to expedite the process of hearing the petition of private employees for a wage hike. Despite this, I will continue to push for a legislated daily wage hike of P125 across-the-board. It is only appropriate to have a legislated measure to address the mounting call of ordinary workers for a wage increase considering the habitual escalation of prices of goods and services.

Mapapatunayan natin na talagang pinahahalagahan natin ang ating mga manggagawa kung bibigyan natin sila ng tamang umento sa kanilang sahod. Balewala rin kung kakarampot lang ang idadagdag sa kanilang suweldo.
