The Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board-National Capital Region (RTWPB-NCR) is set to deliberate on fourteen wage petitions that seek varying pay adjustments ranging from P200 to P842. In an official notice, the NCR wage board announced that these petitions will be heard during a public hearing scheduled for June 18, 2026, at the Philippine Trade Training Center Building (PTTC) in Pasay City, starting at 9 a.m.
Public Hearing Details
The wage board emphasized that all stakeholders, including workers, employers, industry representatives, and other interested parties in the National Capital Region, are invited to participate in the public hearing. "Your participation is vital in ensuring that the views of workers, employers, and other stakeholders are considered in the wage determination process," the board stated.
Submission of Position Papers
Stakeholders who wish to express their views on the wage petitions are encouraged to submit position papers. The board also noted that any party may file an opposition, provided that copies are furnished to the petitioners on or before June 17, 2026.
Previous Wage Order
The last wage adjustment in Metro Manila was implemented through Wage Order NCR-26, which took effect on July 18, 2025. That order raised the daily minimum wage in the region to P695. The current petitions seek increases that range from P200 to P842 per day, reflecting ongoing calls for higher wages amid rising living costs.
