Zubiri: Senate to pursue wage hike, other laws advancing Filipino workers' rights

Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri on Monday, May 1, renewed his commitment to pushing for legislation that would protect and advance the interests of workers across the country, particularly with regard to the pressing need for a wage hike.

On the other hand, Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda said: "My heart swells with gratitude and admiration for the hardworking men and women who tirelessly contribute to the progress of our beloved country.’’ "As your senator, I am committed to championing the rights and welfare of our workers, ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and access to social protection. Together, let us strive for an environment where every laborer is valued, respected, and given the opportunity to succeed,’’ she added.

“We urgently need to address the growing gap between wages and expenses, which is why last March, I filed an across-the-board wage increase act.” Zubiri said.
