00:00 The camera's focus is on the rise in wages of workers in the private sector.
00:09 Although the outlook is different on how much will be added,
00:13 the majority of congressmen agreed to raise the wage.
00:19 Mela Lesmora in Central News Live.
00:24 Angelic, the congressmen and resource persons are different on how much should be raised
00:31 in the daily wages of our fellow workers in the private sector.
00:35 But that's right, Angelic, they agreed on the point that the lives of our Filipino workers should be raised
00:44 even though this high wage is already time.
00:46 Around 10 a.m. this morning, the House Committee on Labor and Employment heard
00:54 about the proposed laws that will push for a high wage for workers in the private sector.
01:00 Senate House Deputy Speaker and TUCP Partylist Representative Raymond Democrito Mendoza
01:06 and Cavite First District Representative Joel Uribella,
01:09 150 pesos across the board increase in the daily wages of workers are being pushed.
01:15 While Gabriela Partylist Representative Arlene Brosas, 750 pesos in addition to the wage is being pushed.
01:22 A rally was held by several groups outside the country's law.
01:27 The other bills, 150 to 350 pesos, are being pushed to achieve a high wage.
01:34 The congressmen explained that although they are pushing for a different and different value,
01:40 their smile is the only thing that can give our fellow countrymen a better life.
01:45 The CPBRD or Congressional Policy and Budget Research Department serving as a think tank of the camera
01:52 recommended that the congressmen be instructed to study the additional wages of the wage board.
01:57 For them, a better share of the aid, like aid for the Kaposangkita Program or ACAP, is better.
02:03 Let's listen to the part of the statement of some congressmen earlier.
02:07 I have high trust and hope in the support of the committee.
02:11 We will be able to pass House Bill 514 in a short time to benefit our fellow countrymen.
02:19 As of the moment, 77 representatives have already shown their support by being co-authors of this measure.
02:25 This proposed P750 wage increase and national minimum wage bills should be certified as urgent by President Marcos Jr.
02:34 Legislating a significant wage increase and national minimum wage is long overdue.
02:39 It is time to increase the wage.
02:42 P750 across the board, we will increase the national minimum wage based on the family living wage.
02:49 Angelic, the first thing that the Senate passed was the P100 wage hike that they are pushing for the third and final reading.
02:58 But on the other hand, the congressmen here in the camera are not pressuring to pass their version.
03:04 Some lawmakers are reminding that the two bills should not be increased.
03:13 Because some are saying that if the P100 is passed in the Senate, the P150 should be passed in the House.
03:18 They are saying that they are studying this issue so that the most effective measure can be implemented.
03:25 And this bill should not be ignored if everything is going to be increased but in the end, it will not be approved.
03:32 Angelic?
03:34 So, Mela, how long will the discussion of the camera be here on the wage hike bills before it is passed?
03:41 And of course, when it is passed, when will our countrymen feel?
03:48 Angelic, usually, some hearings are still going on here in the committee level before it is passed.
03:58 Because you know, these different hearings, they are saying different amounts.
04:03 So, in the committee level, it is already planned.
04:05 So, we expect that it will take a few more weeks.
04:08 And Angelic, after the committee level, they are still planning the plenary for the second and third reading.
04:14 The congressmen have a positive opinion that this hearing will be pushed.
04:19 But how long and how long will we be waiting for that, Angelic?
04:26 Okay.
04:27 Maraming salamat sayo.
04:28 Mela les moras.
