CEBU CITY — The Bohol Regional Trial Court has ordered that a status quo on the minimum wage be maintained pending resolution of the petition of two business groups opposing the reclassification

Salome Siaton, regional director of the Department of Labor and Employment in Central Visayas, made this clarification, saying that Bohol RTC Branch 48 Judge Jorge Cabalit directed DOLE and the Regional Tripartite Wage and Productivity Board in Central Visayas to maintain status quo.

The two business groups, in their petition, questioned the reclassification of Tagbilaran City from Class C to Class B. “We are coordinating with our top management, especially the National Wages and Productivity Commission on this matter. And the lawyers there are working on this in coordination with us,” Siaton.

“The reclassification of wage structure is in line with the thrust of the board to rationalize the wage structure in the region. Of course, we did it after taking into account all the recommendations of stakeholders present during the public hearings and consultations conducted,” she had pointed out.

Workers in the non-agricultural sector falling under Class A cities and municipalities or the Expanded Metro Cebu Area , will now be paid P404.00 daily minimum wage after getting an P18.00 increase from the previous P386.00 daily rate.
