THREE Makabayan block representatives filed on Sept. 16, 2022, House Bill 4898 seeking to establish a national wage for private sector workers and in the process abolish the existing regional wage boards.

The measure, authored by Rep. Arlene Brosas (Gabriela Women's Party), France Castro (Alliance of Concerned Teacher's party-list) and Raoul Daniel Manuel (Kabataan party-list), aims to create a National Wages and Productivity Board (replacing the National Wages and Productivity Commission) and abolish the 17 Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards created under Republic Act 6727.
