P418 DAGDAG SAHOD SA DAVAO REGION
INIHIRIT NG TUCP

Naghain ang Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) ng petisyon sa Davao Region- Regional Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) para hilingin na dagdagan ng P418 ang arawang minimum na sahod sa Region XI.

Kung maaprubahan magiging P814 ang daily minimum wage sa Davao region mula sa P396.

“Wages were set to the cost-of-living 3 years ago. The wages are no longer able to cope with current cost-of-living. The net increase of petroleum products from January to March 22 of this year is P16 for diesel, P15 for gasoline and P14 for kerosene. Food prices are surging. Power costs are climbing. Our wages are ridiculously low and are now setting the stage for massive malnutrition and hunger,” sabi ni TUCP President Raymond Democrito Mendoza.

Batay sa 2021 First Semester Poverty Incidence Among Families na inilabas ng Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), ang poverty incidence sa Davao del Sur ay 7.9%, sa Davao del Norte ay 13.6%, sa Davao Oriental ay 24.5%, sa Davao Occidental ay 31.7%, at sa Compostela Valley ay 21.8%. BOY LLAMAS
