Lawmaker renews call for passage of WAGE bill

The Trabaho party-list has reiterated its push for the House of Representatives to pass the Wage Tax Adjustment for Growth and Equity (WAGE) bill, especially following the recent P85 increase in the minimum wage for the National Capital Region. This renewed call highlights the ongoing efforts to balance economic growth with fair wage adjustments for Filipinos. The WAGE bill aims to address wage stagnation by adjusting the tax system to provide more disposable income for workers, which is crucial for economic stability and reducing poverty. This push underscores the lawmakers' commitment to ensuring that wage increases translate into tangible benefits for the working class.
