LABOR groups lambasted the House of Representatives' Committee on Labor and Employment for not acting promptly on House Bill 7871 that mandates a P150 daily wage hike.
The groups, including Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP), Federation of Free Workers and Sentro ng mga Nagkakaisa at Progresibong Manggagawa, called on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to certify the measure as urgent and to temporarily suspend excise taxes on petroleum products to cushion the impact of inflation on ordinary Filipinos.
