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.

Inirekomenda ng administrasyong Marcos ang panukalang P7.2 trilyong pambansang budget para sa 2027, na mas mataas ng anim na porsyento kumpara sa P6.793-T alokasyon ngayong taon, ayon sa Department of Budget and Management (DBM).

Batay sa National Budget Memorandum No. 158 na inilathala nitong Biyernes, Hunyo 26, ang panukalang P7.2-T pambansang budget para sa 2027 ay katumbas ng 21.7% ng gross domestic product (GDP) ng bansa. 

Mas mataas ito ng 6% o P407 bilyon kumpara sa P6.793-T budget na inilaan para sa 2026.

Inaasahang popondohan ng panukalang badyet ang mga pangunahing programa at proyekto ng pamahalaan sa susunod na taon, kabilang ang mga prayoridad sa imprastraktura, edukasyon, kalusugan, at iba pang serbisyong pampubliko. 

Nabatid na dadaan pa sa deliberasyon at pag-apruba ng Kongreso ang panukalang General Appropriations Act bago ito tuluyang maipatupad sa 2027.
