Workers in the Philippine capital will see their wages rise by a record 12%, with implementation set to start this month, Labor Secretary said on Tuesday. Over 1.1 million minimum wage earners in Metro Manila will receive pay increase of 85 pesos ($1.4) a day, the “largest single wage adjustment ever granted in the capital region,” according to the labor department. The increase will be made in two tranches, specifically 60 pesos on July 19 and 25 pesos in January next year, it said.
