P100 wage hike bill gains traction in Senate: Senator Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada sponsors in plenary Wednesday, February 7, 2023, Senate Bill No. 2534 proposing a P100-daily minimum wage increase for private sector workers in the entire country which is seen to benefit over 4.2 million minimum wage earners. From the original proposal of a P150 daily wage hike, Estrada said his Committee on Labor, Employment and Human Resources Development recommended a P100 increase as almost all regional wage boards have already responded to the workers’ clamor by ordering an increase ranging from P30 to P90 last year.
