JUST IN: Department of Labor and Employment Secretary Francis Tolentino announces that Wage Order No. 28 will be implemented today.
Under the wage order, employees will receive a ₱60 wage increase, resulting in an additional ₱1,500 in their take-home pay.
The supposed ₱85 wage increase under Wage Order No. 27 remains on hold due to a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by the Pasig Regional Trial Court following a petition filed by big contractors. | via Maica Razon, Bilyonaryo News
‘DISAPPOINTED’
Senator Rodante Marcoleta said he was disappointed that the Senate plenary has yet to take up his manifestation questioning the legitimacy of Senator Chiz Escudero as presiding officer of Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial and his position that 16 votes, or two-thirds of the Senate, are needed for conviction.
Marcoleta also said he would not file a motion before the Sandiganbayan to seek permission to participate in the impeachment proceedings. | via @makipulido
