Mahigit 1.1 milyong minimum wage earners sa Metro Manila ang makatatanggap ng P85 dagdag sa kanilang arawang sahod, matapos ihayag ng Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) ang pinakamalaking isang beses na wage increase na naaprubahan sa National Capital Region (NCR).

Inanunsyo ni Labor Sec. Francis N. Tolentino ang dagdag-sahod sa ginanap na Pulong Talakayan sa Malabon Central Public Market nitong Lunes.

“Masaya ko pong ibinabahagi ngayong umaga bilang pagsunod din sa tagubilin ng ating mahal na Pangulong Marcos at ng National Wage Board, itinataas po natin ang suweldo ng lahat ng manggagawa dito sa Metro Manila. Itinataas po natin sa isang makasaysayang P85 increase,” ani Tolentino.

QUEZON CITY - The Social Security System (SSS) and OFW Council of Leaders signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 22 June 2026 to promote social security coverage among Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Saudi Arabia and their families, as part of the SSS’ efforts to expand membership among OFWs in the Middle East.

OFW Council of Leaders Director-General Mofiedah R. Daknash (3rd from left) and SSS Vice President for Asia, Americas and Pacific Operations Division Paul Erik D. Manalo (4th from left) led the signing of the MOU, which mobilizes more than 100 Filipino group leaders in Saudi Arabia to encourage migrant workers to become SSS members and secure social protection for themselves and their families.

Also present during the MOU signing were OFW Council of Leaders Member Ruby Dizon (2nd from left), together with other SSS officials Acting Executive Vice President for Branch Operations Sector Antonio S. Argabioso (6th from left), Acting Vice President for Middle East and Europe Operations Division Roberto V. Roldan (1st from left), and Overseas Filipino Workers Management Department Manager III Francis Paolo P. Lazaro (5th from left).

Manalo said the MOU signing marks a milestone, as the OFW Council of Leaders is the first Filipino community group network in the Middle East to enter a formal partnership with the SSS to promote its programs and services.
