Government in particular the Wage Board should not give an exception by regional. Right now their basis for increasing is by regional what they do is that only those cities areas are given the high pay which intend those in other region to migrate to those cities which gives a higher basic pay which those cities are getting crowded and scouters also.

Solution:

1. Wage Board should generalized the basic salary and no longer a regionalistic basis. It solve the over populated of certain regions aside from that certain regions wont be trying to be in one regions just to have a high salary. You're not only helping and solving the problem of the regions but also those regions which are small but with high pay of course they wont be trying to migrate to other region.Like manila all other regions are trying their luck to go to manila because they new that they can have a better pay even it is high cost of living but if you will have the same salary on those small regions why should they still comes to a place they know that they will just have a break even.So, it is properly distributed and no one will make an excuse for not following the rate specially those industrials but not small business which not an industries. Special those foreign company who are here in the philippines. Imagine you will serve them part of your life serving them then in return they will get rid of you little by little.

 There was a foreign company a call center which all of the staff was there when they where starting until such time they need to sign another contract to others because business is getting lower.Little by little process is getting more tidious to make the employee forece them selves to resign so they wont have to pay the benefits of their employee at all. Imagine a small business whos own by our filipino at least when ups and downs still there for their employee and giving their benefits unlike foreign company all the resources and talent of Filipino are used even the country but in return nothing still Filipino are still the one double cross.

Having a high salary to our country can make a difference to those Filipino.It solve the problem for their daily needs and able to have their own house and lot if they have a high pay. Which our government main purpose is to provide his citizen a descent and a better life.How can it be done if the salary itself could not suffiece the needs of a single worker. What more if got into it the marriage? How can he/she provide the need of his/her family if the wage is not even suffiece the need of him/her self. The next thing is to solve the medicical for every Filipino which only those wealthy family do afford it.

WHAT ABOUT THE JOBLESS?   EVEN COLLEGE GRADUATES ARE HAVING A HARD TIME LOOKING FOR JOBS BECAUSE A LOT OF BUSINESSES ARE NOT HIRING, TERMINATING OR REDUCING THEIR MANPOWER...

paumanhin...exemption po(not excemption)...

anyway...

We also have to consider that cost of living also differs by regions. Cost of living in Manila is more expensive than in other cities. That's why pay is bigger in Manila.

Maybe a better solution to keep people from getting out from their regions is for their local government units to spend more on the progression of their region. Like spend for infastructure, make good business policies, a safer environment..etc. This will make the area more attractive to businesses. An increasing number for businesses will also mean an increase in job oppurtunities.

Before a lot of people from the south will tend to go to Manila because the jobs are there. But at present Cebu can offer a lot now so they don't have to go too far.

If key cities in other areas can progress like Cebu or  like any other fast progressing cities in the country then people in their areas doesn't have to go that far to look for jobs.

...But then again our system of government is just too centralized that money earned from the regions has to go to the center first before they can have it back. Worse they could still possibly receive less than they earned. This impedes the progress of the regions...

Maybe it could be ideal if we accept a federalistic approach to our government so that our regions don't have to rely much on the "Center".

That's the solution i can see to make wage equally to other region. To make each region progress instead of going to one region which provide the higher pay. As we know that other region are progressive  and the cost of living is high too thats why they need to give wage higher. But if the wage will be no exception to other region and it will be equally of course i rather stay on my home town and wont be insisting to be on a cities which is crowded.

Sorry about that i was thinking using the word "exeption".

I guess this is not the appropriate forum for that questions.

Now everything going up but the wages of each filipino still not enought to raised a family or by themselves alone...

Now, they have new Kick backs again the Haon Pinoy Program. Which everyone is opposed to this one.They are saying it is for the poor so they will have a good education so when they have good education they can earned already.What if just improve those public facility so they can go to school those poor and not giving it in cash another ghost poor nanaman yang project nayan. Actually they are asking for jobs and they have the point to this one. Poor say once the regime remove the project is remove and nothing again. They are thinking not long term solution but short term so they can spend those money and have ghost poor. If we have good wage also even one is working i guess it will enough for the family but even both will be working if the salary is not enought still we are still poor and we can not grow from being poor. Make a long term solution and not patches so you can suffiece the Greediness within you.

Government need to exempt from the tax ranging 250,000 those workers to make a better living aside from that a wage increase too. So at least those professionals dont need to leave the country and just serve the Filipino.What happening philippines is the training ground and other country is the one benefiting to our skilled worker.If only we know how to used this resources we have I guess we can level other countries.But the only question our fellow Filipino workers is that is it worthy the wage to raise a family if they will work to out own country this is the  question that the government need to answer.Government is not thinking what really the salary will benefits to our country if they will increase it and give an attention. Teachers will perform well and students will be more productive to contribute to our country in the future. 20 pesos is not enough for an wage increase think wage board thinkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk dont think too much on the side for those companies but instead think of those workers that makes their company working....Sacrifies those company who doesnt want to increase instead threatening to leave the country. I guess this is their threat so it about time to dare them to stands to our own workers which they are skilled and capable to due the jobs well done.

20 pesos increase whats that????????????? Imagine all prices have been growing and then still thinking if it the right thing to give to the worker the amount 20 pesos. Hay nako that agency should be remove already cause it doesnt think the welfare of the workers rather than thinking those companies who are just using the country and leave whenever they want to leave. In the end the people of the country are the one suffering big time.

if there were more jobs than unemployed or underemployed filipinos, there will be no need for a wage board because market forces will compete for the same resources, in this case labor prices.

while statistics do not matter to low-income wage earners living on a hand-to-mouth existence, let me simplify it: we have 42 million working filipinos, 30% are under the poverty line and 7.3% are unemployed. so that's 12.6 million filipinos who are considered "poor" and 3 million jobless filipinos fighting for the same jobs. (and these numbers come from the government. we know for a fact that this is understated and the "hidden economy" doesn't make its way to the national statistics office. even within this labor pool there are inequities. the jeepney driver who earns as much, sometimes more than the secretary/receptionist in makati doesn't pay taxes while the latter has her taxes withheld by the company she works for automatically). if there were more than 15 million jobs available, a wage board dictating minimum wages would be nothing more than a government stamp pad. it would be practically useless. but the reality is that the ordinary businessman will not hesitate to give labor these rates because it is easy to replace one troublesome person in the labor pool with another person willing to take over that vacant slot at the same price.

if there's anything that can make a real statement and a show of force: a general labor strike that stops work throughout the country will have a dramatic effect. but a word of caution: think about foreign investments making their way to china or vietnam where the costs of labor is way cheaper.

a better solution: upskill filipinos so we have more white-collar workers and middle-class businessmen. that means addressing education issues now.
