Labor group to file P200 wage hike petition in NCR tomorrow

 Media Advisory

April 22, 2026

Kapatiran ng mga Unyon at Samahang Manggagawa

Contact Rey Almendras @ 09480082350

 

 

What: Kapatiran ng mga Unyon at Samahang Manggagawa will file a P200 wage hike petition

 

Where: NCR Regional Tripartite Wage and Productivity Board (11th Floor Trium Square, Sen. Gil Puyat Ave., Pasay)

 

When: Tomorrow, April 23, 2026, 9:30 am

 

Photo opportunity: A delegation workers will accompany Kapatiran president Rey Almendras (of the Philip Morris Fortune Tobacco Labor Union) and secretary Ronald Tan (of the Kapisanan ng mga Manggagawa ng Dunkin Donuts), both of whom will be available for media interviews

 

Kapatiran is arguing that high inflation due to the war on Iran constitutes a supervening event that necessitates the P200 wage hike. PSA data reveals that the current P695 minimum wage in NCR has an effective real value of only P539.18, representing a loss of P155.82

 

The petition is first in the NCR while a wage hike petition was filed last month in Region 7 (Central Visayas). A P200 legislated wage hike is also pending in the House of Representatives
