>Minimum-wage earners have long fought for a wage hike to help them cope with the rising cost of living. After all, the prices of transportation fare and food continue to increase as well.
Unfortunately, they lost in a battle again as the government rejected their P125 wage hike demand and gave them P22 COLA or “cost of living allowance.”
Find out why this is considered an injustice by the country’s workers as ABS-CBN correspondent Zen Hernandez tell the stories behind this news event in “Patrol ng Pilipino” on Tuesday (Mayo 17) after “Bandila.”
